- Pneumothorax, spontaneous or iatrogenic
- Effusions, benign or malignant, except those with high protein content.
- Low viscosity empyema.
In response to concerns and advice from British Thoracic Society members, the Rocket Seldinger Chest Drainage Set now contains shorter (10cm) dilators.
To enhance safety further, Rocket have developed a new set with removable Safety Guards to prevent the over-insertion risk associated with the common 20cm dilator.
