Tevillah for Dialysis Patient

An isha that has to go to make dialysis (she has serious Kidney problems) and because of this has all the time a small tube attached to her stomach with bandages, along with a small electronic device that must also be attached, what should be done in terms of being tovel.

Answer:

I understand the question refers to peritoneal dialysis, for which a tube is inserted to the stomach, through which the dialysis is performed.

If there are no stiches on the tube, it does not constitute a chatzitzah.

If the bandages are sometimes changed, they will constitute a chatzitzah, depending on the type of bandage used.
