The Vide® Shore chest drain is a 2000ml, three-chamber chest drain unit that offers the reliability of a traditional water seal drain and the convenience of a water-less suction control operation.  The Shore chest drain completely eliminates the need for constantly maintaining water level in the suction control chamber (and thus the need to scramble for sterile water in the midst of a night!).  The elimination of water also means the vacuum level can maintained with less fluctuations than a traditional water-based suction control.
