How to Care for JP Drain (Jackson-Pratt drainage system) after you leave the hospital.
This video describes the best way to care for your Jackson-Pratt drainage system after you leave the hospital.
- When caring for your Jackson-Pratt at home, it involves the following:
- Milking the tubing to help move clots
- Emptying it twice a day and recording the amount of drainage on the Drainage Record
– If you have more than 1 drain, make sure to measure and record the drainage of each one separately. Do not add them together. - Caring for your insertion site, the area where the catheter enters the skin
- Recognizing when there is a problem

Post-Operative Breast Augment Implant Massage Video
All breast augment patients will be instructed to massage their breasts at some point post -op and Dr. Banchet will start this at different times for each patient but usually within the first few weeks. Breast reconstruction after cancer is a little different- we may have you massage one breast or both or neither. Massaging tissue expanders is usually not helpful and reasonably uncomfortable!
Occasionally breast implant reconstruction patients will use a shoelace to raise an implant that is sitting a little lower than I would like.
