Product Information

Irrigation is an alternative to wearing a colostomy appliance. It involves washing out your colon with water either every day or every other day.

NB: The samples I was sent were for drainable pouches, as I have an ileostomy. What is a One Piece System?These bags are commonly used for ileostomies. This is due to the nature of their stoma; it products more output of a porridge like consistence and can hold up to being on the skin for days at a time. It is a cost efficient way to wear and use a pouch, if you have a consistent output. This applies very similarly to urostomates too. Colostomy equipment is discreet and secure, and you should be able to do most of the activities you enjoyed before.

Being able to experience with two piece system if you have always used a one piece is a good learning curve. It can be used well if you are travelling, if you go walking alot without a bathroom break, if you swim or enjoy showering without your bag.Most types of exercise are possible with a stoma, including swimming, as all colostomy bags are waterproof. A one piece system is a bag which has the pouch and baseplate fused together in the manufacturing process. All three types of stoma can use a one piece system. With both bags, I was able to wear my normal clothes; Hollister was less visible but Coloplast was just as noticeable as my one piece. Not that this mattered much, how it looked to others wasn’t my biggest concern. The functionality and its ability to last my usual two days was my priority. I’ve found that using a two piece helps when I am traveling and when I go away from home. I bring it along as an option, because I like the flexibility. And almost two years down the line, I am more comfortable and capable of changing between the two options. Which style of ostomy bag do you use? Does it change on circumstances? If yes, which situations call for which system? How well you recover will determine how much exercise you can do. If you feel any pain, stop immediately.

That being said, colostomates also like one piece bags. Changing the whole system once full works well for colostomy patients as this is predictable and can happen at a set time during the day. However, taking a bag off your abdomen every day – or sometimes, multiple times a day – can impact on the peristomal skin. Some people tend to apply the baseplate – to ensure fit and placement – then apply the pouch. Others just apply the whole two piece system like they would a one piece. This is a personal preference and dependent on circumstance – ie I would apply a two piece in its entirety if I was changing and my stoma was abit more active that I would ideally like during a change! Last but not least; if you find a two piece hurts you or your are unsure about either of the systems, please speak to your SCN. Trying something new is sometimes scary and unnerving. And sometimes it’s not necessary. On all three, you can see thevisible flange area, where thecutting range sits and where the stoma sit inside of the ring to help stabilise the baseplate when it attaches to a pouch. Pros and Cons Pros – One Piece There's no reason why you cannot travel after having a colostomy, but you'll probably need to plan extra time into your journey.Irrigation is not always possible. For example, it's not suitable for people with Crohn's disease or diverticulitis, or if you're having radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Ostomy Bags are often referred to as ostomy pouches or ostomy appliances. They come in three different types and with numerous options. The three types of ostomy bags are colostomy bags, ileostomy bags and urostomy bags. Within these types of ostomy bags there are many variations. Below is the comparison of a one versus two piece system. Before we begin, we need to go through some of the terminology used when discussing stoma bags: A great comparison, side by side, by Vitality Medical Colostomy appliances are made from hypoallergenic materials to reduce skin irritation. They also contain special filters to prevent any unpleasant smells. If your job is particularly strenuous and involves a lot of heavy lifting, you may need to wear a support belt or girdle. Your stoma nurse can advise you about this. A colostomy bag is used to collect your poo. How often it needs to be changed depends on which type of bag you use.
