Flutter valve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Flutter valve is a one way valve arrangement usually placed on the end of a large bore or small bore chest tube. It is usually designed as a rubber sleeve within a plastic case where the rubber sleeve is arranged so that when air passes through the valve one way the sleeve opens and lets the air through and when air is sucked back the other way the sleeve closes off and no air is allowed backwards.
