The invention provides a device for bowel packing having an essentially elliptical shape that is essentially symmetrical along a minor axis of the ellipse, and the device includes a notch located on the minor axis below the major axis. The device is composed of material comprising an elastomeric polymer and the device is appropriately sized for retaining the intestines of a mammal. The invention further provides methods of use of the devices of the invention for bowel packing. The invention further provides methods for increasing bowel packing speed, increasing effectiveness of bowel retention, decreasing the formation of post-operative intraperitoneal adhesions, and increasing temperature of the abdominal cavity during surgery by use of the device.
L'invention concerne un dispositif de contention de l'intestin ayant une forme essentiellement elliptique qui est essentiellement symétrique le long d'un axe mineur de l'ellipse et qui comprend une encoche située sur l'axe mineur en dessous de l'axe majeur. Le dispositif est composé d'un matériau comprenant un polymère élastomérique et sa taille est appropriée à la rétention des intestins d'un mammifère. L'invention concerne en outre des procédés d'utilisation des dispositifs de l'invention pour la contention de l'intestin. L'invention concerne en outre des procédés pour augmenter la vitesse de contention de l'intestin, augmenter l'efficacité de rétention de l'intestin, réduire la formation d'adhérences intrapéritonéales post-opératoires et augmenter la température de la cavité abdominale pendant une intervention chirurgicale en utilisant le dispositif.
