ABSTRACT:
A surgically implantable apparatus for subcutaneous placement in the body of a patient and by which peritoneal dialysis may be performed with minimal risk of infection, the apparatus being connected to a catheter extending into the peritoneal cavity and having a needle-impenetrable reservoir, a needle-penetrable covering over the opening of the reservoir, and an essentially nonyielding support extending across reservoir opening beneath and contiguous to the needle-penetrable covering to prevent sagging of body tissues; and a method for performing peritoneal dialysis by means of the apparatus.
