| Jarvis Haugeberg's clever water-tight connection between ostomy/fistula bags and tubes | ||

Cut the top off a baby bottle, leaving the cap, nipple and threaded part. Separate the 3 pieces.
| |
| Put the threaded cut-off bottle top inside the ostomy or
fistula bag. Make a small hole (a tiny x) in the plastic of the fistula or ostomy bag in the center of the threaded top. Pull the tube through the hole in the bag with a clamp. |

Put the baby nipple cap around the nipple. |

| Put white Teflon plumbers paste inside the threads
either side of the baby bottle: cut off top or cap. Screw the baby bottle top to the threaded cut off part of the baby bottle. Be sure the entire hole in the plastic bag is inside the nipple ring. Tighten the nipple ring with a needle nose pliers. Reinforce the catheter nipple junction with silk tape. |
