We devised an catheter insertion holder for thoracic drainage, and applied in 7 feline cases with pyothorax. This drain insertion holder has a sharp-pointed tip and a cylindrical portion which holds the drain. Thoracic puncture was made while the holder was placed on the incision with the drain in the cylindrical portion, and the drain was inserted into the thoracic cavity by loosening the cylindrical portion. This technique allowed thoracic wall puncture and intrathoracic drain insertion simultaneously, In all the cases, placing the thoracic drainage could be performed in shorter time without any damages to the lung.
