Colostomy bag

A colostomy bag is a medical device designed to collect waste from the digestive system when the colon or rectum is unable to function normally. During a colostomy surgery, the surgeon creates an opening (stoma) in the abdominal wall, and the bag is attached externally to collect stool.

There are different types of colostomy bags, including:

• One-piece systems – where the bag and skin barrier are combined.
• Two-piece systems – where the skin barrier and the pouch are separate, allowing easier replacement.
• Closed or drainable bags – depending on whether the bag can be emptied or needs replacement after use.

Why Choosing the Right Colostomy Bag Matters

Selecting the right colostomy bag is crucial for maintaining comfort, preventing leaks, and ensuring healthy skin around the stoma. The wrong choice can cause irritation, embarrassment, or even infections. At Colostomy Bag Store, we understand these challenges and offer a wide range of trusted brands and sizes to suit individual needs.
