The Denver Pleurx Catheter Kit and the Denver Pleurx Drainage Kit/Vacuum Bottle are indicated for intermittent long term drainage of symptomatic, recurrent pleural effusion, including malignant pleural effusion and other recurrent effusions that do not respond to medical management of the underlying disease. The devices are indicated for 1) the palliation of dyspnea due to pleural effusion and 2) providing pleurodesis (resolution of the pleural effusion).

The Pleurx Drainage Kit includes a vacuum bottle with drainage line that is connected to the Pleurx catheter for removing fluid that has accumulated in the chest. It also includes a rooedure pack that includes all the supplies needed to perform the drainage procedure and to replace the dressing over the catheter.
