The Tube-Evac device offers a quick, easy and safe way for a doctors, nurses, caregivers and patients to milk surgical tubing

The purpose of this invention is to squeeze the tubing coming out of the body, clearing it of clots and debris so continuous and uninterrupted fluid drainage can be maintained. Drains coming from the body need to be cleared on a regular basis. The current method used by nurses is to simply squeeze the surgical tube between your fingers, use a pen, or use alcohol wipes and pull on the tubing. Nurses have been doing this for years and know how to do it quite well. However, the patient has almost never done this before in his/her life and it is very intimidating.
