1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) management solutionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive a custom fitted device designed to isolate EAF effluent independent of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) utilizing 3D printing technology to design a participant-matched device that more easily and effectively separates the participant's fistula and any emanated intestinal contents surrounding the wound.
