Event or Problem Description
It was reported that according to the clinical resource director, they are getting recent complaints from my satilla facility that the wound drains were too stiff.The facility and doctors there have used these same drains for a while now, so they are not sure what had changed.Drains are too stiff for the current staff, and they were wondering if there is a line of perhaps softer more flexible silicone drains, they can have them try until this is resolved.Material (b)(4).
