Close suction drains play very crucial in surgical wound healing. It is important that the wound suction drain works properly because the proper healing of the wound depend on it. If the wound suction drain do not work properly, it will be difficult to obtain accurate recording of the volume and the contents of the drainage that is coming out from the wound. Thus, it will be difficult to monitor for excessive bleeding, infections and things like that which may prevent proper healing.
