Low	This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article needs a lot of improvement. Here are some Web resources with information to incorporate and cite. The current link in the text of the article to the company that makes drain "bags" feels like an advertisement; it should in any case be moved to the citations.

I absolutely agree - many fundamental weaknesses, including the fact that this is a medical drainage application, which should be stated right at the start of the article! Plus: the English is generally poor! Maelli (talk) 14:27, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did some updating to add some legit sources and moved some stuff around 98.172.14.97 (talk) 20:36, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

Shouldn't the hyphen be replaced with a en dash to indicate the drain's name was derived from two different person's last names.
