Basic Information About Stoma Goods

Stoma goods include stoma appliances (ostomy bag and faceplate), skin barriers, and other accessories. Doctors and nurses may use technical terms, so you might need to learn those technical terms to avoid confusion.

Stoma appliance (faceplate and ostomy bag)

The two essential components of an ostomy appliance are the faceplate and ostomy bag. An ostomy appliance that has these two components integrated is known as one-piece ostomy appliance, and the system in which these components can be separated is known as the two-piece ostomy appliance.

Faceplate

The plate that fixes an ostomy bag to the body is known as the faceplate. This place is available in two types; the adhesive type and the non-adhesive type. If you wish to use a non-adhesive type, you are going to have to use a belt to ensure a tighter seal. Still, it can allow the leakage to occur through the skin underneath it. That’s why most of the people consider using the adhesive type, which has the skin barrier integrated into it.

As for the shape, the faceplate can be flat or convex. The convex type uses a convex ring, which is inserted into the faceplate flange. You can also buy an ostomy appliance with a convex flange that comes with a built-in convex ring.

A faceplate is either pre-cut or free-cut. The pre-cut faceplate has a small hole of a specific size. It is perfect for the people who have an average stoma in terms of shape and size. As for the patients for whom the pre-cut faceplate is not an option, they can consider using the free-cut option that doesn’t have any hole. A free-cut faceplate, instead, comes with markings that allow patients to create a hole according to the shape and size of their stoma.

Ostomy bag

The component of the ostomy appliance that collects bodily waste passed out by the stoma is called the ostomy bag. The bag that collects the stool is called a stool collecting bag, and the one that collects urine is known as a urine collecting bag. Typically, the film used in this bag consists of 3-5 layers, and 2it has a deodorant effect.

Colostomy bags come in two types: one with a vent to squeeze the stool, and one with no vent. The one with a vent is known as an open-end colostomy bag, and the type that doesn’t have any vent is known as the closed-end colostomy bag. Each of these bags is suitable in its own particular set of circumstances.

The ostomy bag that you are going to need to manage your urostomy features a tubular vent and a stopcock valve. There is also a non-return value in this bag.
