Summary

This study tests a small, portable pump that collects digestive fluids lost through a fistula or stoma and returns them to the lower intestine. The goal is to reduce the need for IV nutrition and help patients manage their condition at home. The trial will enroll 100 adults with high-output fistulas or double enterostomies.
