WHAT DOES COLOSTOMY BAG MEAN IN ENGLISH?

colostomy bag

Ostomy pouching system

An ostomy pouching system is a medical device prosthetic that provides a means for the collection of waste from a surgically diverted biological system and the creation of a stoma. Pouching systems are most commonly associated with colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies. Pouching systems usually consist of a collection pouch bag, known as a one-piece system or, in some instances involves a mounting plate, commonly called a wafer or a baseplate, and a collection pouch that is attached mechanically or with an adhesive in an airtight seal, known as a two-piece system. The selection of systems varies greatly between individuals and is often based on personal preference and lifestyle. Ostomy pouching systems collect waste that is output from a stoma. The pouching system allows the stoma to drain into a sealed collection pouch, while protecting the surrounding skin from contamination. Ostomy pouching systems are air- and water-tight and allow the wearer to lead an active lifestyle that can include all forms of sports and recreation.
