Abstract

Mini vacuum drains can be helpful in reconstructive surgery. The drains may be assembled using a scalp needle and a vacuum tube. The addition of the adapter that is used with the vacuum tubes for blood sampling improves the ease of use and practicality of these drains and increases their safety.
