How to Select Ostomy Pouch?

Ostomy pouches are available in many different styles and sizes. Pediatric nurse can help choose the pouching system that suits your child best at different stages in your child’s life. There are one-piece and two-piece ostomy pouching systems.

One-piece system : In a one-piece ostomy system, the pouch and barrier are joined together as a single unit. The pouch collects stool or urine while the skin barrier is placed around the stoma to protect the skin and hold the bag securely. It is simple to use and easy to apply and remove.

Two-piece system : A two-piece ostomy system has a separate Ostomy pouch and Skin barrier. This arrangement provides convenience of changing the pouch while the skin barrier continues to remain attached to the skin.

How to Empty Ostomy Pouch?

1. Empty the drainable pouch (or throw away a closed pouch) when it is 1/3 full.
2. Hold the end of the pouch up before opening the closure.
3. After emptying, wipe the end of the pouch with toilet tissue or a baby wipe.
