Abstract

Abstract 5449. Brewis, G. March 6. Collecting d i s - charges, appliances for.-An appliance for use after colotomy consists of a box or chamber a, having an aperture c at one end, encircled by a wide flange b, which presses against the body, and thus encloses the wound in the aperture. The other end of the chamber is closed by a removable cover a<1>, clamped in position by a screw a<5> passing through a nozzle a<4>, to which an enema can be attached for cleansing purposes. By removing this cover, the patient can adjust the appliance in position. A shoot a<6> serves to conduct the discharges to a bag attached to its rim. Two slightly modified forms are also described.
