    AbstractIn a prospective, randomised study we compared the clinical properties of the established Redon drain with a new type of drain called "slit drain". Both types of drains were examined regarding the amount of drained fluid, the time elapsing until removal of the drain, the frequency of occlusion of the lumen as well as the patient's pain and the required force at extraction of the drain. The statistical analysis showed both drains to have equal abilities in draining of fluid if they were used under vacuum conditions. If used as nonsuction drains, the new device was able to drain more fluid than the established type of drain (p less than 0.05). Statistically relevant advantages of the slit drain were seen in a lower rate of obstruction of the lumen, a higher amount of drained fluid (as non-suction device) as well as an easier and less painful extraction.
