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!
