Ostomy Supplies

To meet your many ostomy needs, manufacturers provide open and closed bags for ileastomies and colostomies as well as bags for urostomies by major name brands like the Coloplast SenSura and Hollister. These cutting edge ostomy supplies work to resume and maintain your lifestyle after ostomy surgery.

People with a colostomy tend to use closed bags because their waste is generally more solid. When full, closed bags are designed to be removed and replaced rather than being emptied and reused. The bags come in either 1-piece in which both the adhesive and the bag are permanently attached together or 2-piece where the adhesive and bag are separate and secured by a coupling. Both types are offered by the brands of Coloplast and Hollister.

People with an ileostomy tend to use open bags because their waste is generally more fluid. Open bags are easy to empty and do not have to be replaced as often as closed bags. Ileastomy bags also come in 1-piece and 2-piece sets with outlets that can be opened for easy disposal. People with a urostomy tend to use bags designed for managing urine. The bag can be emptied when necessary and changed when required.
