GUZMAN-VALDIVIA GOMEZ, Gilberto y ARELLANO-LOMELI, Shantalle Maribell. A brief historical review of drains and their authors. Cir. gen [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.1, pp.35-40. Epub 20-Feb-2020. ISSN 1405-0099.
Drainage systems are instruments which allow the removal of liquid or gas, natural or pathological collections that the physician needs to remove from the body; the instrument is called drain. Throughout history, various systems have been developed with different drains in terms of their form, design, material and draining mode. The need to remove these collections and the ingenuity of those who designed them allowed the evolution of current drainage systems. The purpose of this article is to present how drains appeared, the materials available to manufacture them, and to name who their authors were.
