TubeEvac Best Surgical Drain Product: TubeEvac & Award for Excellence

TubeEvac
this because I was confused after listening to nurses talk about milking the tubes.
Global Healthy Living
TubeEvac was initially created to support Vance’s late wife, drawing on their personal experiences to create a solution that meets the patient’s needs, as he highlights.
“Today, our clients are the hospitals and surgical centers where these surgeries are performed. The TubeEvac device users start as nurses in the recovery room, floor nurses, emergency department staff and nurse navigators who work directly with patients to teach them the proper ways to care for surgical tubes when they go home. At one major hospital TubeEvac devices are kept in the top drawer of each recovery room. If a patient comes out of surgery with tubes then they are given a TubeEvac device for clearing their surgical tubes. They are first shown how to use it in recovery and they are shown again how to use it when back in their room. The nurse is no longer responsible for milking the patient’s surgical tubes. Patients clear their own tubes and are much happier knowing they can clear them when they go home.”
“Initially, we invented the TubeEvac device for my late wife who underwent breast cancer surgeries, breast reconstruction, and removal of breast implants. Clearing surgical tubes is a common procedure in wound care, and it often comes as second-nature to clinicians. But it can still be time-consuming and complicated. So you can imagine how daunting and difficult it is for friends or family members who have never done such a thing, and are responsible for a loved one’s after-surgery care. Both Linda and I loved helping people and that was why the TubeEvac device was invented. Unfortunately, Linda’squality cancer health care. came back and she died in 2014.
In addition to supporting the patients that use the solution, the TubeEvac also creates an efficient healthcare environment, as Vance explains.
the clot out. They did not have a Tube-Evac device. A survey done in May 2017 pointed out that 78% of nurses say their patients hate tubes and milking them more than anything else related to the surgery. As such, we are keen to help hospitals and care-givers to assist patients with overcoming their fears and give them some control over their treatment.”
“The techniques currently used can cause the tubing to stretch and, in some cases, to double in length. As the tube becomes longer the time required to clear it extends as well. A patient experiencing breast surgery, especially for cancer, can be so overwhelmed with accepting the diagnosis and all of the surgical outcomes and healing, that drain care is an awkward and confusing task for the patient and caregiver try to do correctly. Patients and their caregivers don’t want to hurt the patient, don’t want to pull out the drain from the body, don’t want to leave anything in the tube that can cause infection, etc. They are often times left with a feeling of inadequacy. The TubeEvac device eliminates all that. It puts constant pressure on the tubing so the tube is not stretched but such that most of the fluid is pushed into the collection bulb. You cannot put too much pressure on the tubes or you can rip them – especially the smaller tubes. We have been told of instances where the tubes were torn in two by too much pressure being placed on them while trying to strip the tube.”
“Alongside supporting the patient themselves, the TubeEvac device makes the entire hospital floor operate more efficiently thus saving the hospital dollars. In effect, the TubeEvac device more than pays for itself. We do not know of any instance where “Uniquely, although there are the TubeEvac device did not over 70 patented devices for clear the surgical drain of clots clearing surgical tubes, the and fibrinous tissue. However, TubeEvac device is the only we know of an instance in North device that actually works and is Carolina where the nurses were available for sale.

“In the United States, affording and accessing healthcare can be challenging, particularly for chronic disease patients who benefit from working with specialists and utilizing complex, often expensive, medications to manage their illness over a 2018 Private Healthcare Awards lifetime,” said Seth Ginsberg, president and co-founder of the Global Healthy Living Foundation and chronic disease patient.

Despite the unique benefits of this innovation, Vance discusses the issues he and his team have encountered having the technology accepted and how they are working to overcome them. “It has become very difficult to have the TubeEvac device accepted by hospitals, who are most often a part of a larger health system. In most cases, the individual hospitals cannot purchase it unless it accepted by the system. Many times, those decisions are made based on a person who feels that a $5 part is too expensive even though it has been shown time and again to save a hospital overall costs. Physician medical groups associated with hospitals are generally required to purchase only the products that the hospitals have approved. Recently, we have found that to be able to add the TubeEvac device to a hospital’s materials inventory, each department that may be able to use it must have an in-service demonstration and an opportunity to test the product in the clinical setting before giving their stamp of approval. A current hospital has been testing the TubeEvac device for 11 months, with no negative feedback.”
“Looking to the future, we look forward to exploring different types of tubing that could be cleared with the TubeEvac device either in its current or modified form. We are also pursuing different kinds of techniques for clearing other types of tubes.
“Overall, the healthcare market is going to get more and more expensive. There are functions which will be eliminated while others will expand. It is going to be difficult to get reasonable treatment in the future as expenses grow and resources diminish, but at TubeEvac we hope to be able to provide patients with the help they need.”

We operate together to reduce

We use minimal invasive surgical techniques for patient with gynaecomastia (benign breast swelling in male breasts).” Ultimately, breast cancer management changes every decade because of recent advances in diagnostics (e.g. 3D mammogram also called Tomosynthesis), surgical treatment (perforator breast flap) and adjuvant treatment (advances in chemotherapy). The team at Southeast and London Breast Care aim to deliver this care by a multidisciplinary approach and thus providing a state of art care. This will remain the firm’s ongoing focus as it looks towards an exciting future, and the team will continue to adapt their skills and techniques in both the cosmetic and breast cancer surgery spaces in order to meet the ever evolving needs of their patients.
