      Different types of ostomy bags

      There are three types of stoma related to the digestive and urinary system - these are: colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy. Depending on the type of surgery you have, you may need a closed bag, a drainable bag or a bag with a tap attached:

      Colostomy

      Colostomy

      A colostomy is formed using the large bowel or colon, and usually created on the left-hand side of your abdomen. Stools in this part of the intestine are solid and, because a stoma has no muscle to control defecation, will need to be collected in a closed bag. Sample colostomy products
      Ileostomy

      Ileostomy

      An ileostomy is made using the small bowel, and is typically made on the right-hand side of your abdomen. Stools in this part of the intestine are generally fluid and, because a stoma has no muscle to control defecation, will need to be collected in a drainable bag. Sample ileostomy products
      Urostomy

      Urostomy

      A urostomy is a urinary diversion made up of the small bowel, and is typically created on the right-hand side of your abdomen. Because this section of the intestine is too small to function as a reservoir, and there is no muscle or valve to control urination, you will need a urostomy pouch to collect the urine.

      Looking after the skin around your stoma

      It is important to maintain healthy skin around your stoma and underneath the baseplate. Your stoma nurse will have taught you how to look after your stoma and the skin around it, however, from time to time, you may experience issues with your skin*. 

      The first step to better ostomy care is identifying precisely what kind of issues you're dealing with and what might be causing them. Whether you have issues with sore skin, adhesion, moisture or uneven skin, there is a solution for you. 


      *Please note that you should always talk to your stoma care nurse if you have skin problems or concerns about using new accessories.
