No, we sell the pouches in packs of two because you will always need more than one.
The C.U.D.D.L. Pouch stands out with its discreet design that holds up to eight drains securely under clothing while being shower-friendly and comfortable. Unlike other solutions, it’s made from soft, disposable polypropylene material and was specifically designed with input from both post-surgical patients and medical professionals for real-world usability across various surgeries.
The C.U.D.D.L. Pouch is available only in white to help patients easily monitor cleanliness and track fluid levels in the evacuators. The light color allows for quick visual checks, supporting infection prevention and effective post-surgical care.
The C.U.D.D.L. Pouch is compatible with most common closed wound drains, particularly the widely used Jackson-Pratt (JP) drains in both 100cc and 400cc sizes. The pouch can comfortably hold up to eight smaller drains or four larger ones, and works with any other round drain up to 400cc regardless of brand name. This versatility makes the C.U.D.D.L. Pouch suitable for various surgeries including mastectomies, tummy tucks, and heart surgeries where drainage management is needed.
A closed wound drain is a medical device that removes excess fluid from a surgical site through a tube connected to a collection reservoir. The system creates gentle suction to prevent fluid buildup that could cause swelling, infection, or delayed healing. Common types include Jackson-Pratt drains with squeezable bulbs and Hemovac drains with spring-loaded reservoirs. It’s important to keep these drains secure and protected as they can easily catch on doorknobs, furniture, or clothing during daily activities, which is why a specialized pouch like the C.U.D.D.L. Pouch helps protect them during your recovery.
If you or a loved one has been informed that a closed wound drain will be needed after surgery, it’s important to order your C.U.D.D.L. Pouch in advance. While we do offer overnight shipping for urgent needs, ordering ahead of time is more cost-effective and ensures you’re fully prepared for recovery.
Understanding the Challenges
Nursing staff are often limited to providing patients with large safety pins and metal lanyards to lift and secure surgical drains and evacuators, like what Amy was given.
Evacuators must be lifted because as the patient heals, they become heavy and filled with fluids from the body, thus pulling uncomfortably on the patient’s wounds.
For many patients having experienced a double mastectomy, eight surgical drains and evacuators are common. The use of pins and lanyards are not only uncomfortable and cumbersome for the patient, but also unsanitary and time consuming for nursing staff to secure these on a patient’s gown.
Often, the surgical drains and evacuators become lost or tangled in the bed sheets, get caught on knobs or furniture, and even in the mechanics of recliners.
The C.U.D.D.L. Pouch meets all of these challenges and solves these problems!!

Numerous surgeries require active, closed wound, surgical drains and evacuators (reservoirs). These surgeries can include, but are not limited to, general thoracic (heart, lung), lymph node, breast (mastectomy, explant, reconstruction), thyroid, abdominal, and some cosmetic surgeries (tummy tuck, face lift, breast augmentation, neck lift, arm lift). We suggest that you ask your doctor or surgeon if your surgery will require drains and evacuators (reservoirs). If the answer is yes and your surgery will require drains, then it is recommended that you purchase the C.U.D.D.L. Pouch for your healing journey.
