Peritonitis is still one of the most important complications of peritoneal dialysis. Over the last few years, many efforts have been made in developing new device systems. A remarkable improvement has been obtained by modifying the original connection between the catheter and the bag, especially after the introduction of the Y-set. The aim of this study was to verify whether the use of a new device system, called the T-set, could reduce the incidence of peritonitis. This connector adds the advantages of the Y-set to those of the twin bag. In a group of 53 patients enrolled in a three-year period with a follow-up of 797 patient-months, we observed an incidence of peritonitis of one episode every 50 months. Furthermore, in the subgroup of 39 new patients, we observed an incidence of peritonitis of one episode every 89 patient-months. This new device can be a further step in the evolution of connectors that reduce the incidence of peritonitis.
腹膜炎仍然是腹膜透析最重要的并发症之一。在过去几年中，人们在开发新的设备系统方面付出了很多努力。通过改进导管与袋子之间的原始连接，特别是在引入Y型装置后，已经取得了显著的改进。本研究的目的是验证使用一种名为T型装置的新设备系统是否可以降低腹膜炎的发生率。这种连接器将Y型装置的优点与双袋装置的优点相结合。在一组53例患者中，为期三年的随访共797患者月，我们观察到腹膜炎的发生率为每50个月发生1次。此外，在39例新患者的亚组中，我们观察到腹膜炎的发生率为每89患者月发生1次。这种新设备可能是减少腹膜炎发生率的连接器发展中的又一步。
