Colostomy bag: what is it and how is it used

A colostomy bag is a device that is used to collect stool during bowel movements in a bedridden patient. It can be made of metal, glass or plastic, and can also be presented in the form of a plastic bag attached to the fecal fistula to collect discharge.

There are several different types of colostomy bags. Some of them are disposable, while others can be used several times. Colostomy bags can have different diameters, and can also be self-adhesive or have a fixation.

Colostomy bags are used primarily to care for patients with colostomy or ileostomy. Colostomy and ileostomy are procedures that are performed to create an opening in the patient's abdomen through which the intestines are brought to the surface of the body. A colostomy bag helps collect stool that comes out through a colostomy or ileostomy and prevents it from getting on your clothes or bed.

Colostomy bags are manufactured in different countries such as China, Slovenia, Russia, the Netherlands, Denmark and the UK. They are produced by various manufacturers, such as Jiangsu Kaishou Medical Apparatus Co Ltd, Tosama, Alfaplastic, Apexmed International B.V., Kazan Medical Instrument Plant, Coloplast A/S, Konvatek, Medpolymer, Palma and Polymer Products.
