Feature and benefits of colostomy pouch

Structural design :One-piece:The baseplate and the pouch cannot be separated. When replacing, the entire bag needs to be removed. ‌
Two-piece:The baseplate and the pouch can be separated, and only the bag needs to be replaced, reducing skin irritation.
Function classification:Closed type:single-use,suitable for shaping feces (such as sigmoidostomy). ‌
Open type:the bottom can be opened and closed, suitable for loose stools (such as transverse colostomy), requires regular cleaning. ‌
Core Function:Excrement collection:Feces are collected directly through the stoma to avoid skin contamination.
Skin protection:Prevent excrement from corroding the skin around the stoma and reduce the risk of infection. ‌

How to choose right colostomy pouch

Select according to the type of stoma:Colostomy:The excrement is mostly formed feces, and it is suitable to use ‌ closed ‌ or ‌ emptying ‌ ostomy bags. ‌
If the stoma position is relatively high (such as transverse colostomy), a ‌ large chassis ‌ or ‌ one-piece ‌ stoma bag should be selected to accommodate the stent tube.
Ileostomy:The excrement is in a thin paste form and requires a ‌ open ‌ or ‌ urinary ostomy bag ‌ (anti-backflow design).
Select based on the stoma morphology:
Flat base:suitable for those with a protruding stoma and smooth surrounding skin. ‌
Convex base:Suitable for stoma retraction, depression or skin folds around, it can reduce the risk of leakage.
Two-piece:Convenient for changing bags, reduces skin irritation, suitable for early postoperative or stoma edema.
Early postoperative:Select the ‌ transparent open pocket ‌ for easy observation of stoma blood supply and excrement properties.
After recovery period:It can be switched to ‌ opaque or semi-transparent ‌ pockets to reduce psychological burden. ‌
