Containment in the Design of Indwelling Fecal Drainage Catheters: Hydrogen Sulfide Permeation Testing a D. Claire Gloeckner, PhD and Steven A. Carleo, MS a Employee of C. R. Bard, Inc., Covington, Georgia KEY WORDS Abstract Clostridium difficile Containment Background. The ideal indwelling fecal drainage (IFD) catheter is Contamination designed to contain both feces and odor, which has implications for patients, Fecal incontinence healthcare providers, and the environment. In patients, unmanaged fecal Indwelling fecal drainage incontinence may trigger a cascade of events that have the potential to catheter increase the risk of skin breakdown and decubitus ulcers. Managing fecal Laboratory test incontinence and maintaining infection control practices places a substantial burden on healthcare providers. We hypothesized that the use of a material with low permeability would result in a device that would help contain feces and fecal odor. Methods. We performed a series of laboratory tests on the tubing of ® four IFD catheters manufactured by Bard (digniShield SMS with Permalene™ ® ® polymer tubing), ConvaTec (Flexi-Seal Signal™ FMS and Flexi-Seal
