Frequently Asked Questions
 

• WHY THIS SHAPE AND NOT ANOTHER CONICAL CYLINDER LIKE OTHER PLUGS?

IN ORDER TO HAVE SHARP EDGES PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE WALLS OF THE FISTULOUS TRACT. 

• WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO HAVE SHARP EDGES PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE WALLS  OF THE FISTULOUS TRACT?

TO PREVENT THE ROTATION OF THE PLUG ON ITS LONGITUDINAL AXIS AND LOSS OF GRIP ON THE VASCULARIZED TISSUE. PRESSFIT® ANAL FISTULA PLUG PUTS PRESSURE ON, AND CREATES INTERFERENCE AGAINST THE WALLS  OF THE FISTULOUS TRACT ACCORDING TO THE CONCEPT OF MALE AND FEMALE CONNECTORS.

• WHY DO WE REQUIRE STABILITY IN A PLUG?

BECAUSE THE INCORPORATION OF AN ADM REQUIRES PRIMARY STABILITY AND A CONE-SHAPED CYLYNDRICAL PLUG IS NOT PREVENTED FROM TURNING ON ITS AXIS.

• ARE THERE OTHER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR STABILITY?

YES, PRESSFIT® ANAL FISTULA PLUG HAS A SOLID BODY AS OPPOSED TO A HOLLOW BODY OR A NON RE-ABSORBABLE PASTE.

• HOW DOES A SOLID BODY CONTRIBUTE TO STABILITY?

BECAUSE IT CANNOT COLLAPSE AND LOSE ITS GRIP ON THE WALLS OF THE FISTULA.

• WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTACT BETWEEN THE ADM AND THE WALLS OF THE FISTULOUS TRACT? 

INCORPORATION OF ADM BEGINS WITH PRIMARY STABILITY  AND REQUIRES INTIMATE CONTACT WITH THE VASCULARIZED WALLS OF THE FISTUOLOUS TRACT.
