Summary
We tested various kinds of gastric fistulae (for rats) made of different materials, and a sturdy model was designed capable of functioning for many months. Its main part consisted of polythene “feet” placed between the serous coat and the internal surface of the abdominal wall.
For a study of gastric function we used special “hammocks” made of thick tarpaulin, and found that they afforded the most favorable conditions for fixing the rat, and were superior to hard extensible sliding cages.
