One-piece ostomy appliance

The one-piece ostomy supply consists of a collection bag with integrated adhesive plate. These bags can only be used once. They can be closed or have a drainage opening.

Closed systems are suitable for smaller and solid excretions. These are predominantly used by colestomy patients, as their excreted stool is more solid. Closed bags usually have an activated charcoal filter through which all intestinal gases can escape without odor.

Bags with a drainage opening are called "stripping bags" or "open system". The body waste collected in the bag is emptied through the drainage opening at the bottom of the collection bag. They are mainly used by ileostomy wearers, as the excreted stool is thinner in their case. The bag can thus be emptied without changing the entire supply.
