[A model of a long functioning drainage catheter].
The model of a long functioning tube was used in 98 patients with abscesses, phlegmons, suppurating hematomas and diffuse purulent peritonitis. The tube had a purifying device in its lumen as a small bead used for permanent destruction of the fibrin clot in the tube lumen in the postoperative period. It allowed maintenance of its patency for the limitless duration. The tube in the purulent cavity had the through direction, i.e. its both ends were brought onto the skin surface. The duration of treatment of patients with purulent diffuse peritonitis was from 18 to 23 days, with the suppurating process of soft tissues--from 12 to 18 days. There were no complications associated with using the model of the tube.
