In order to achieve an optimized design of the Multi-Lumen Thoracic Catheter (MLTC), fluid dynamics analyses were conducted utilizing COMSOL Multiphysics® software with LiveLink™ for Solidworks®. Lumen placement, diameters, and termination points were adjusted to ensure maximum drainage efficacy. It was determined through this study that even with the additional flow through the access lumen, the drainage through the MLTC was comparable to that of standard catheters. Therefore, with its increased functionality, the MLTC has the potential to revolutionize the thoracic catheter market.
