Drain Log uses standardized surgical terminology with color-coded classification to help patients accurately categorize fluid appearance. Click any fluid type below to inspect clinical details:

Dark Red / Maroon
Sanguineous (Days 1–2)
Normal Initial
Pink / Light Red
Serosanguineous (Days 2–5)

Abnormal Alert

Dark Red / Maroon — Sanguineous

Normal Healing Progression (Days 1–2)

Fresh or pooled blood expected during the immediate post-operative window (initial 24 to 48 hours). Indicates active initial wound decompression.

Clinical Guidance: Expected progression immediately after surgery. If output suddenly spikes or fills with rapid pulsatile bleeding, contact your surgeon immediately.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Drain Log, surgical recovery tracking, and clinical PDF exports.

Most surgeons evaluate surgical drain removal when each individual drain's 24-hour output drops below 30 mL (or a custom threshold specified on your discharge paperwork) for 2 consecutive completed days. Drain Log evaluates this criteria per drain and presents a green milestone checklist card prompting you to call your surgical office.
No. Drain Log operates on a strict 100% on-device architecture. All measurements, fluid logs, and clinical notes are saved in sandboxed encrypted storage on your physical smartphone. There are no remote storage servers or cloud databases holding your health records.
Yes! With one tap, you can generate a doctor-ready clinical PDF report formatted with color-coded fluid logs, per-drain rolling totals, and trend tables. You can print directly to any AirPrint/Wi-Fi printer or share via email and electronic patient portals.
Drain Log supports 1 to 6 surgical drains simultaneously. Each drain has its own distinct color badge, individual measurement history, and independent removal readiness tracking.
Yes. You can export your entire recovery profile into a 1-tap .drainlog snapshot file. The caregiver can tap the file on their iOS or Android phone to import the log instantly via AirDrop, Messages, or Email with zero central cloud account required.
