A catheter is provided for clearing surgical drains of solid and semi-solid material that collects in and obstructs the drains. The catheter has a solids removal member at its distal end. Preferably, the solids removal member is an inflatable balloon, a deployable umbrella member, a deployable spring, a slicer, or a fixed spring. The solids removal member is effective to aid removal of collected solids from the surgical drain. An aspiration port is also provided at the distal end of the catheter to remove or aspirate collected solids that are dislodged from the surgical drain by the solids removal member. A method for using such a catheter is also provided.

La sonde présente un élément d'élimination de particules solides à son extrémité. De préférence, l'élément d'élimination de particules solides est un ballonnet gonflable, un élément en forme de parapluie déployable, un ressort déployable, un élément coulissant coupant, ou un ressort fixe. L'élément d'élimination de particules solides est efficace pour assister l'élimination des particules solides accumulées du drain chirurgical. Un orifice d'aspiration se trouve également à l'extrémité distale de la sonde afin d'éliminer ou d'aspirer les particules solides accumulées qui sont détachées du drain chirurgical par l'élément d'élimination de particules solides. Cette invention concerne également un procédé faisant intervenir l'utilisation de ladite sonde.
