Product Overview
The PleurX Pleural Catheter System is indicated for intermittent, long term drainage of symptomatic, recurrent, pleural effusion, including malignant pleural effusions and other recurrent effusions that do not respond to medical management of the underlying disease.

Product Features
- The active vacuum technology lets patients drain quickly and comfortably without the need for gravity.
