DrainTally

The JP-drain chart from your surgeon's office, with the 24-hour math done for you

Name and colour every drain, log each emptying in two taps with fluid colour and consistency, and get a true rolling 24-hour total per drain — plus the surgeon's target streak and an office-form chart to hand to the nurse. Free, nothing to install.

What you can do in DrainTally on the web

1

One card per drain

Left 1, Left 2, Right 1, Right 2 — each with its own identity colour, body site, insertion date and rolling 24-hour total in big numerals.

2

Two-tap emptyings

A 64-point mL dial with quick amounts (5–30 mL), the five fluid colours from bright red to clear, three consistency grades and an optional note — built for one hand at 3am.

3

True rolling 24-hour totals

Not a fixed 7am-to-7am window: DrainTally sums everything emptied in the last 24 hours, per drain and for all drains together, with today vs yesterday on every row.

4

Surgeon's target streak

Enter the mL number and consecutive-day count from your discharge instructions and watch the streak ring, today-so-far card and a seven-day under/over strip.

5

Office chart and CSV

A per-drain daily table laid out like the paper form — removed drains included — that you can copy as text or download as CSV before your follow-up.

6

Caregiver hand-off

A one-page summary with the emptying times, every drain's current output, and the four steps a spouse or friend follows at each emptying.
