Abstract
When the presence of a retained foreign body induces risk, removal of the foreign body is necessary. In the past, endoscopic or surgical removal have been preferred. In Japan, Ito reported removal of a disk battery by using a magnet tube in 1983. Our experience with 10 patients for 6 years from 1984 to 1989 has also suggested that this tube is safe, effective and rapid for removal of blunt metallic foreign bodies in infants and children. Availability of the magnet tube creats a new option for first aid in the treatment of ingestion.
