A novel device for the simple and efficient refinement of liposuctioned tissue.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Closed-suction drains are widely used to reduce the incidence of seroma whenever potential spaces are surgically created. However, few studies have examined the parameters that affect drain efficacy. METHODS:An in vitro model was created to assess the effects of tubing length, tubing size, tubing type, flui...
