This week, the CLR team is in Toledo, Ohio, supporting thoracic irrigation training for the clinical team at St. Vincent Medical Center, part of @mercy_health. Thank you for welcoming us! #ThoracicIrrigation #TheSolutionIsCLR

Pro Tip: Irrigate right at the time of chest tube / pigtail catheter placement, before the holes begin to clog and before the pleural collection further organizes and hardens. #ThoracicIrrigation #TheSolutionIsCLR
