ABSTRACT:
A peritoneal catheter comprises a flexible catheter tube carrying porous cuff means to facilitate permanent securance of the catheter to the abdominal wall. The catheter tube defines, in its natural, unstressed condition, a bent segment adjacent the porous cuff means. This permits the catheter to be mounted in a tunnel formed through the abdominal wall in relatively unstressed configuration with both ends pointing downwardly.
