From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Jackson-Pratt drain, JP drain, or Bulb drain, is a suction drainage device used to pull excess fluid from the body by constant suction. The device consists of a flexible plastic bulb -- shaped something like a hand grenade -- that connects to an internal plastic drainage tube. Removing the plug and squeezing the bulb removes air, which creates a lower air pressure within the drainage tubing. The best way to accomplish this is to essentially fold the drain in half while it is uncapped, then while folded, recap the drain.
