Your Recovery,
Reimagined.
SOMAVAC® replaces bulky, outdated drain bulbs with a small, quiet, smart pump you can wear discreetly under your clothes1,2, so you can focus on healing, not managing drains.
The Next Evolution in Drain Management
JP drain bulbs are a 1970s design. They’re bulky, they leak, and they require constant attention. SOMAVAC® replaces them with a quiet, discreet pump you barely notice.

Simple. Invisible. Continuous.1
SOMAVAC® is designed to disappear into your daily life. Flat as a phone, quiet as a whisper, and smart enough to do all the work for you.
Invisible Under Clothing
Worn on a belt under your shirt. No safety pins. No bulbs dangling. Most people won’t know you’re wearing it.
Everything You Need in One Kit
The complete system: smart pump, collection bags, drain connectors, and a measurement card. Your surgeon sets it up, you just wear it.
Simple LED Status Lights
Green means working. Blue means change the bag. No screens, no apps, no confusion.
Designed Around Your Comfort
For 50 years, patients have dealt with awkward, leaky JP drain bulbs after surgery. SOMAVAC® is the first real upgrade, a smart pump that makes recovery easier, quieter, and less stressful.1
Comfortable & Discreet1
Weighs just ounces and fits in a small pouch you wear at your waist, hidden under clothes. No bulky bulbs pinned inside your surgical bra or dangling at your side.
Incredibly Easy to Use3
In clinical studies, patients rated SOMAVAC easier to use than a thermometer (Kortum & Peres, 2015). Simple indicator lights tell you everything you need to know, no guessing.
Whisper-Quiet1
Unlike loud hospital-grade suction, SOMAVAC® operates so quietly you’ll forget it’s there. Sleep, rest, and recover without constant noise or disruption.
Drains Out Sooner1
Continuous smart suction removes fluid more efficiently than traditional bulbs. Clinical data shows drains can be removed up to 30% sooner,* meaning less time tethered to tubes.
Reduced Risk of Complications
The fully closed system reduces your risk of complications. In a clinical study, SOMAVAC patients had a 0% seroma rate (vs. 13.6%)1. Effective drainage lowers the chance of fluid buildup, which affects 1 in 5 patients with traditional drains.
24/7 Patient Support
Have a question at 2 AM? SOMAVAC® provides a dedicated U.S.-based support line you can call anytime. You’re never alone during your recovery.
Simple, Smart, Continuous1
No stripping. No squeezing. No guessing. SOMAVAC does the work for you.
Your Surgeon Connects It
After surgery, your surgeon connects SOMAVAC® directly to your surgical drain tubes. It’s ready to go before you even leave the hospital.
Smart Suction Does the Work
Built-in sensors maintain continuous, gentle −100mmHg suction.1 No manual squeezing. Simple LED lights tell you the status at a glance.
Empty the Bag & Relax
Fluid collects in a replaceable bag. When it’s full, a light alerts you. Swap the bag in seconds, no mess, no fuss. That’s it.
