Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A closed-suction drain is specifically designed for situations where continuous drainage is needed, such as with skin grafts. It is placed under the skin and continuous suction is maintained to remove fluid and prevent bacterial growth. The other options (Penrose drain, gauze seton, periodic needle aspiration) do not provide continuous drainage and may not be as effective in preventing infection and promoting healing.
