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.
JP drain: The original suction drain. The drain itself is inside the body. It is made of Teflon and has multiple drainage holes. The drain is connected to clear plastic tubing which is usually sutured to the skin at the point it leaves the skin. The tubing connects to a bulb reservoir. The bulb, when squeezed empty, applies constant suction to the drain and pulls the fluid out of the body.
