I have a JP drain in my left breast from an implant that had an infection and had to be replaced. It's been in for 9 days and is expected to be out in the next 7 days. It's had a lot of clotting in the bulb and after emptying it doesn't all come out. I am stripping the tubing and the clots are still able to drain into the bulb. I can't get out all the [RS bleep]/residue after draining the bulb to measure the output. Can I/ should I clean the inside of the bulb?
