ABSTRACT:
An ostomy pouch having a plug for the stoma and a pouch to collect natural discharges. The plug stops the natural discharges from collecting in the pouch. The pouch is employed to catch any discharges that might leak through the plug and to form a reservoir when the plug is dislodged. Such a reservoir is especially required when one is in training for the use of the stoma plug. The pouch has an openable top through which the user can reach to remove the stoma plug so that the contents of the colon can be drained into the pouch. The bottom of the pouch is also openable, allowing the user, when sitting on a water closet, to drain the pouch into the toilet without undressing any more than would a person without a colostomy. After discharge of the pouch, the bottom drain can be resealed, the plug placed back into the stoma, and the top of the pouch closed.
The pouch is detachably mounted on a person's body. As confidence and control in the use of the ostomy plug is developed, the pouch can be used less and less.
