The embodiment of the invention discloses a chest drainage catheter. The chest drainage catheter comprises an outer tube, an inner tube and a suction head, wherein the outer tube sleeves the peripheryof the front of the inner tube, the suction head is connected to the front end of the inner tube, the inner tube can slide front and back in the outer tube, the suction head has the contraction stateand the expansion state, the suction head is in the contraction state when accommodated in the outer tube, the suction head is in the expansion state with the inner diameter enlarged in the sequencefrom rear to front after the inner tube forwards slides along the outer tube, and the suction head comprises an elastic sleeve, wavy spring rings and a plurality of connecting wires for connecting theadjacent wavy spring rings. The chest drainage catheter provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the outer tube, the inner tube and the suction head, the suction head is accommodated inthe inner tube in a contraction manner under the effect of the outer tube and can expand out from the outer tube, so that blockages in the suction head and the inner tube can be cleared through contraction and expansion, and therefore, the blockage of the chest drainage catheter is effectively prevented.
