Abstract
A body cavity drainage device includes a drainage tube having a proximal end, a distal end, and one or more lumens extending longitudinally through a wall thereof. The distal end may be configured to be inserted into a body cavity of a patient during use of the body cavity drainage device. An activation apparatus is configured to alter a position of the distal end of the drainage tube relative to the proximal end of the drainage tube. The activation apparatus may include a rotatable control device and one or more flexible members disposed within the one or more lumens extending longitudinally through a wall of the drainage tube. The one or more flexible members may be operably coupled to the rotatable control device and to the drainage tube. Methods relate to forming and using a body cavity drainage device.
