A Pilot Clinical Study of a Safe and Efficient Stool Management System in Patients With Fecal Incontinence.

CONCLUSIONS: This study, along with pilot clinical findings, suggests that this technology minimizes the pressure exerted on the rectal wall. There were significantly fewer forces against the anorectal mucosa compared with the cuff-based catheter during insertion, withdrawal, and accidental expulsion. PMID: 29324429 [PubMed - in process]
