Subdural drain with Nelaton catheter and latex glove, a low-cost alternative and how to make it

The benefits associated with using a subdural drain during the evacuation of subdural hematomas are well-documented. In cases where prefabricated drains are not available, a handmade alternative can always be utilized. Materials are often readily available in every hospital, and the cost may not exceed 100 MXN (5 USD), making it at least 5 times cheaper than the cheapest prefabricated alternative. This solution is particularly beneficial for developing countries without access to prefabricated drains.
