New device aims to cut IV nutrition needs for intestinal failure patients
NCT ID NCT04577456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a device that collects waste from an opening in the belly and returns it to the lower intestine. The goal was to see if it could reduce the amount of IV nutrition needed by at least half. 44 adults with intestinal failure and a fistula or double stoma took part. The device is meant to help manage the condition, not cure it.
