ASEPT Drainage Bottles & Drainage Systems

The B. Braun ASEPT line is built for patients and caregivers managing recurrent pleural effusions or malignant ascites at home, where fluid must be drained safely, comfortably, and without a trip to the clinic. For anyone living with a tunneled drainage catheter, the priorities are simple: a reliable vacuum, a clear way to know it's working, and a closed system that keeps drainage clean from start to finish.

That's exactly what these components deliver. The B. Braun ASEPT Drainage Bottles (M7050) are sterile 1000 mL plastic bottles with a green vacuum indicator lid — the indicator lets you confirm at a glance that the bottle is holding vacuum before you connect, so you're never guessing whether a drain will actually pull fluid. The bulb-type design supports steady, controlled drainage that patients can manage independently.

The B. Braun ASEPT Drainage System (622279) pairs a sterile 1000 mL bottle with a self-sealing valve lid, creating a fully enclosed pathway from catheter to container. The self-sealing valve helps reduce the risk of contamination and spillage during and after the procedure, an important safeguard for immunocompromised patients draining fluid outside a clinical setting.

A few things buyers commonly ask about: these bottles hold 1000 mL, which is generally the maximum recommended volume to remove in a single session for most patients, though your care team sets the specific limit and frequency. All items are supplied sterile and are single-use, so it's worth keeping several on hand to match your prescribed drainage schedule. The ASEPT bottles and systems are designed to work with compatible ASEPT pleural and peritoneal catheter setups — confirm your catheter type with your provider before ordering.

Because home drainage is an ongoing routine rather than a one-time need, stocking consistent, sterile supplies keeps the process predictable and lowers infection risk. Explore related options in our Urological & Drainage category to round out your supply needs.
