ABSTRACT:
A means and method of peritoneal dialysis in which a dialyzing tube is permanently embedded in a patient's body with a perforated end of the tube located within the peritoneal cavity and the other end secured subcutaneously at the fascia. Dialyzing is achieved by perforating the epidermis with a needle at the time of dialysis and thereafter introducing a dialyzing fluid through the needle, and if desired, through a catheter inserted through a needle into the tube in quantity and for a time period to permit dialyzing. The dialyzing fluid containing contaminants is then removed by siphon and/or gravity action through the needle. The sequence of introducing and removing fluid may be repeated and thereafter the needle withdrawn allowing the epidermis to heal and leaving no visible appearance of the dialyzing tube.
