The Romo Seal Under Water Seal Drainage System is a medical-grade chest drainage device used post-surgery or during respiratory emergencies to safely remove air or fluid from the pleural cavity. Its one-way valve mechanism ensures effective drainage while preventing backflow, promoting faster recovery. Ideal for thoracic procedures, it’s easy to monitor, portable, and essential for maintaining lung re-expansion and patient stability.
Description
The Romo Seal Under Water Seal Drainage System is a vital medical device designed to collect and monitor drainage from the pleural cavity or mediastinal space following thoracic surgery or trauma. Its core functionality is based on a water seal mechanism that prevents air from re-entering the chest cavity, ensuring safe and effective one-way flow of air and fluids from the patient’s thoracic cavity into the collection chamber.
Constructed from high-quality, medical-grade materials, this system is typically used in conjunction with a chest tube to manage pneumothorax, hemothorax, pleural effusion, and postoperative air leaks. It includes clearly marked graduations for precise fluid measurement, a large-capacity collection chamber, and a transparent housing that allows easy visual monitoring. Some versions are equipped with suction control capabilities for added therapeutic benefits.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
One-Way Valve Mechanism: Prevents backflow of air into the pleural space, reducing the risk of complications.

This system is a standard in emergency rooms, intensive care units, surgical wards, and operating rooms. It is suitable for both adult and pediatric use, depending on the clinical need.
Compared to traditional glass-bottle drainage systems, the Romo Seal system offers improved safety, reduced breakage risk, and enhanced portability. It may also incorporate anti-reflux valves or suction regulation features depending on the model.
Many healthcare providers prefer this closed system for its sterile, self-contained operation that aligns with modern infection control protocols. It may comply with relevant medical device safety standards and sterile packaging norms, though the specifics depend on manufacturer compliance and regulatory approvals.
