The compact and light ATMOS C 051 Thorax was designed for patients with air leaks, pleural effusions, for thorax surgical openings in cardiothoracic surgery and in pneumology.
Designed to support Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)® protocols, the C 051 empowers surgeons and postoperative teams with objective data on air leaks, enabling faster clinical decision-making for earlier chest tube removal and ultimately reducing hospital length of stay.

Go Home Earlier
Early ambulation is a key factor in recovery, yet traditional drainage systems tether patients to wall suction or require bulky equipment restricting patient movement. The ATMOS C 051 with its small and light profile allows patients to mobilize sooner, complying with ERAS ®
For patients with unresolved air leaks, the C 051 can be prescribed to support home-based recovery under physician observation. This unique capability not only enhances patient comfort but also frees up hospital bed capacity, addressing a common challenge in today’s healthcare environment.
Objective Therapy Data
-
Rapid evaluation of the clinical situation thanks to immediate recognition of therapy data on the front display
-
Safe decisions thanks to objective therapy data displayed in real time, in the trend display over 24 hours, and in a graph showing the course of therapy up to 12 days
Unlike other digital drainage systems that require specialized chest tubes or manual intervention, the ATMOS C 051 and its larger-capacity counterpart, the ATMOS S 201, feature an automatic active tube clearance mechanism.
This innovation eliminates the need for staff to milk or strip tubing to remove blood clots, allowing them to focus on patient care. With the C 051, automatic truly means automatic— no additional effort required for the staff.
Most importantly, the ATMOS C051 tube clearance mechanism works with any chest tube and does not require an expensive proprietary chest tube to clear blood clots like its competitors.

Technical Data

ATMOS understands that adopting new technology should be seamless. The C 051 is the only drainage system equipped with an AI-driven QR code support system, giving nurses and clinical staff instant access to answers without the need to contact a sales representative or on-call surgeon during critical moments.

“We are thrilled to receive FDA clearance for the ATMOS C051, as it represents a major step forward in postoperative drainage management for cardiothoracic patients,” said David Guy, U.S. Business Development Manager at ATMOS Inc. “This technology is designed to benefit patients, surgeons, and hospital staff by enhancing mobility, improving clinical decision making, and ultimately enabling faster recovery.”
