Medela Thopaz Digital Drainage System with Docking Station
The Medela Thopaz digital drainage system with docking station is an advanced, clinically proven solution designed to optimise post-operative chest drainage therapy. Using digital monitoring and regulated suction, it provides real-time visibility of air leaks, pressure and fluid drainage to support evidence-based decision making, enhance patient recovery and facilitate early mobilisation.
Thopaz has been studied in comparative trials following lung surgery and is associated with practical benefits such as shorter drainage duration, reduced length of stay and high patient satisfaction in appropriate pathways. It delivers consistent negative pressure to help minimise complications and support optimal healing.
Key Features
- Digital negative pressure control to support accurate and consistent suction
- Real-time monitoring of air leak trends and fluid drainage to inform clinical decisions
- Compact and portable design to support mobilisation and uninterrupted therapy
- User-friendly interface with clear on-screen information and intuitive controls
- Quiet operation designed to support patient comfort in ward environments
- Customisable settings to match clinical requirements and patient needs
- Docking station support for practical charging, storage and workflow integration
Clinical Use and Typical Applications
The Thopaz system is commonly used to support digital chest drainage and monitoring following thoracic procedures and in conditions requiring controlled pleural drainage. It is intended to assist clinical teams with objective monitoring and consistent therapy delivery as part of the local chest drain pathway.
- Post-operative cardiothoracic and thoracic surgery drainage
- Pleural effusion and pneumothorax drainage pathways (as clinically indicated)
- Post-operative drainage therapy where mobilisation is a priority
