1 Selection: Be sure to choose the right type of slip resistant shoe for the job. 2  If you're on the go a lot, you might consider a slip resistant work shoe with a closed heel and secure closure design. 3  If your job requires you to stand most of the time, a slip resistant clog styled shoe with an open back may be preferable.
Recognize the importance of what Jackson-Pratt (JP) drains do. Following your surgery, you may have drainage from the wound that needs to be removed to prevent fluid, hematoma, and/or abscesses from forming. Being able to monitor the drainage also lets you watch for developing complications after your surgery.
Test the Flush. If other drains seem to be working fine, check the problem toilet by dumping about 1 gallon of water into it from a bucket. If it flushes down fine, the drain is probably okay. If it flushes poorly, the drain is probably clogged (see above). When you flush a toilet, clean water in the tank goes rushing down the flush valve to wash the bowl and provide enough water pressure to force the waste down the drain. If your toilet has a lazy flush but the drain seems to be clear, poor movement of water from the tank to the bowl is likely to be the problem.
