A case is described where an abdominal fistula was temporarily closed using a plug made from dental addition curing silicone rubber impression material. An effective seal was maintained using a stoma flange and a gentle pressure dressing; this still allowed normal gastric function.

Key Words: dental impression materials • gastric fistula • intestinal fistula • palliative treatment • silicone elastomers
