To evaluate the clinical efficiency and safety of this new multi-component drain.

Main Methods:

Development of a combined drain incorporating Jackson-Pratt, urethral catheter, and Penrose drain features.
Clinical application of the novel drain in a patient cohort.
Assessment of drain performance based on efficiency and safety metrics.

Main Results:

The novel combination drain effectively utilizes suction and sump principles.
Clinical trials confirmed the drain's high efficiency in fluid management.
No adverse events were reported, indicating a safe clinical profile.

Conclusions:

The developed combination drain offers an efficient and safe solution for surgical fluid management.
Integrating multiple drainage techniques into a single device enhances clinical utility.
This innovative drain represents a significant advancement in post-operative care and wound drainage.
