Thank you Kathy! That is the site that my French search engine automatically sent me to..Wink
I figured that gas, liquids and waste control was the whole point of it but being copper made little sense to me...As for the other site...it is not a new concept...33yrs ago my surgeon proposed the original version of it...they placed a magnetic ring covered with martex under the skin with a plug that looked suspiciously like a bathtub plug...the magnetic attraction was strong and I believe caused many of the problems that Jan sited...plus the added problem of passing through magnetic zones that 'unplugged the plug'...Dr C renounced the whole idea at the time but it seems that they have gotten a lot of the bugs out of it...could work, especially for failed k pouchers who have valve problems and as an alternative to ileos if it proves effective in the long-term.
It is definitely worth looking into...thanks for the link Itsnotsherry...sorry for the confusion.
Sharon
