A novel dynamic in-vitro model of esophageal button battery ingestion demonstrating benefits of honey, but not acetic acid

We developed a dynamic in vitro model of oesophageal button battery ingestion by including peristalsis, body temperature, an upright lumen and saline perfusion. Our data supports the recommendations that oral honey application before endoscopic battery removal protects the mucosa after oesophageal BB retention, whereas ACA irrigation at the time of BB removal showed no effect in this study.
