These are medical bags that are used by patients who have undergone through the colostomy process.
By definition colostomy is an operation that redirects your colon from its normal route, down toward the anus, to a new opening in your abdominal wall. This opening is called a stoma.
The colon in which poop forms, will now expel poop through the stoma instead of the anus. A patient may need to wear a colostomy bag so as to catch the poop when it comes out.
Some patients may have a colostomy for a few months and others may need it for life. A colostomy often follows a colectomy, which is a procedure to remove part or all of the colon.
One may need a colostomy if he or she has a medical condition that requires him to stop using his colon or anus normally. This may be a temporary intervention that allows the body to heal, or it may be a permanent solution for an irreversible health condition.
Beyond Hospital Supplies Ltd has these colostomy bags available at very affordable prices. We are just a phone call away.
