A body cavity drainage device for a patient includes a drainage tube having a proximal end, a distal end, and one or more lumens extending longitudinally through a wall thereof. The distal end may be configured to be inserted into a body cavity of a patient during use of the body cavity drainage device. The body cavity drainage device may include an activation apparatus configured to alter a position of the distal end of the drainage tube relative to the proximal end of the drainage tube. The activation apparatus may include a rotatable control device and one or more flexible members disposed within the one or more lumens extending longitudinally through a wall of the drainage tube. The one or more flexible members may be operably coupled to the rotatable control device at a proximal end of the one or more flexible members and to the drainage tube at or near a distal end of the one or more flexible members. Methods relate to forming and using a body cavity drainage device.
