Skin - friendly Adhesive The adhesive part of the ostomy pouch is carefully formulated to be gentle on the skin. It adheres firmly to the skin around the stoma to ensure a secure seal, preventing any leakage of waste. At the same time, it is designed to be easily removable without causing excessive skin irritation or damage. Flexible Design These pouches are designed to be flexible, allowing patients to move freely in their daily lives. They can bend and conform to the body's shape, whether the patient is sitting, standing, or lying down. This flexibility also helps to reduce the likelihood of the pouch being damaged due to body movement. Collecting Waste The primary use of ostomy pouches is to collect waste (feces or urine) from the stoma. After certain surgeries such as colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy, the normal passage of waste is redirected through a stoma on the abdominal wall. The ostomy pouch is attached to the skin around the stoma to collect this waste, which is then disposed of properly. Maintaining Hygiene By effectively collecting waste, ostomy pouches help maintain good personal hygiene for patients. They prevent the leakage of waste onto the skin and clothing, reducing the risk of skin infections and unpleasant odors. This is crucial for the patient's overall well - being and social confidence. Enabling Normal Life Ostomy pouches play a vital role in enabling patients to resume a relatively normal life. With the proper use of these pouches, patients can continue their daily activities, including work, exercise, and social interactions. They can engage in various physical activities without the constant worry of waste leakage, thus improving their quality of life.
