Securing Drains with a Suture

Ouch! This Hurts.

Today, as they have done for centuries, surgeons secure drains in place by stitching them to the skin with sutures.

There is no standardization.
There is potential for inadvertent and early drain loss.
There are inadvertent pulls on the drain tubing causing pain and gradual irritation of the skin.
Almost all patients complain about drain sites!

If you think there should be a better way – now there is!

K-LOCK™ Doesn't Hurt!

The patented design of the K-LOCK™ is specifically engineered to increase patient comfort and decrease surgical drain related adverse events.

How It Works

K-LOCK™ works exactly like a Chinese finger trap. When the drain is pulled, the inner diameter of the braided sleeve narrows, and the trap tightens.

The reactive tightening occurs without the risk of drain occlusion.

“As a surgeon, patient outcomes are the most important metric I care about. The K-LOCK™ was not just simple to use and quick to apply from an operating room perspective, but the patient satisfaction was remarkable.” - TS, M.D.

“Slick and ingenious. I loved it. Patients loved it. This is a game-changer.” – DB, M.D.
