what do they use to put chest cavity back together
1 Your doctor will then gently open a space into your chest cavity and guide the tube into your chest. Chest tubes come in various sizes for different conditions.  Your doctor will stitch the chest tube in place to prevent it from moving. A sterile bandage will be applied over the insertion site. The tube is then attached to a special one-way drainage system that only allows air or fluid to flow out. This prevents the fluid or air from flowing back into the chest cavity.
