Abstract

various techniques of drain fixation have been described in the past, but we have encountered technical difficulties like slipping of drain which has defeated its purpose. We present a simple method of fixing the suction drain which ensures safe and secure way of fixation until the drain is removed at a desired time. this is easy to learn, secure and remove.
