M R Heal, A G England, H J Goldsmith
PMCID: PMC1587707  PMID: 4758522

Abstract

Indwelling silicone rubber cannulae have been used for peritoneal dialysis in 41 uraemic patients for periods of up to 46 months. The simplicity of this treatment is particularly suited to patients awaiting transplantation.
