ClearFlow is the manufacturer of the PleuraFlow® Active Clearance Technology® (ACT®) System – the only FDA cleared device available that enables caregivers to proactively remove clots formed inside the chest tube to prevent or minimize chest tube occlusion with clot. A patent chest tube enables evacuation of blood and fluid from the operative site after closure of the surgical wound and reduces retained blood. Retained blood is accepted by physicians as contributing to many common complications after cardiac surgery, including post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF), pleural effusions and pericardial effusions. PleuraFlow is used at the bedside in the ICU and enables caregivers to actively maintain chest tube patency following cardiac surgery.

The PleuraFlow ACT System is approved for use in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and other countries in Asia and the Middle East.
