DESCRIPTION
The Transcutaneous Implant Evacuation System (TIES®) is a complete method for providing a continent
ileostomy for the treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune or tumour intestinal diseases. The TIES® system
intends to provide a permanent, patient-controlled continent stoma that obviates the need to wear a bag
after removal of the large intestine.
