[Introduction of a new bandaging technic in CAPD patients]
Abstract:
The protrusion of the peritoneal dialysis catheter from the skin is a technological and biological problem insufficiently solved in CAPD-patients. Infections in this area may demand the removal of the indwelling catheter. A decrease of the infection rate as well as a significant increase of the comfort for the patients is possible by the new bandaging method demonstrated, in which colostomy bags usual in trade are used.
