摘要：
A reversible lockable drainage catheter (10) for use in draining excess bodilyfluid in a tissue having a catheter tube (12) with a proximal end (26) and a distalend (14), and a lockable hub (20) positioned about the catheter tube (12). A suture(18) of the drainage catheter (10) can be reversibly tensioned, and locked inthe tensioned conformation by depressing one or more surfaces (22) of the lockablehub (20). The suture (18) can then be released also by depressing one or more surfaces(22) of the lockable hub (20), or by implementing one or more additional safetyrelease mechanisms. For example, a safety release can be pulled in a proximaldirection to release a tensioned suture (18). Similarly, the suture (18) canbe tensioned to a point that stretches an attachment point of the drainage cathetertube (12), and also causes the suture (18) and safety release mechanism to disengage.
