How to replace a two-Piece ostomy bag

Two-piece ostomy bags are becoming more and more widely used for people with ostomies because of their versatile functions. For example, the flat chassis is suitable for patients with good stoma and surrounding skin; the slightly convex chassis is suitable for patients with flat, slightly depressed, or retracted stoma; the convex chassis is suitable for patients with depressed, retracted stoma or sunken skin around the stoma. Patients and the emergence of the plastic chassis have solved the problem of "difficulty cutting" the ostomy bag for most patients and their families. The patients only need to break the glue of the chassis to form the desired shape.


Material preparation:

1. Soft towel

2. stoma glue remover

3. Ostomy base plate, ostomy bag, ostomy clip, ostomy scissors, ostomy ruler

4. Ostomy belt (used with convex stoma chassis)

(Pay attention to changes in the color of the stoma mucosa. Some stomas may also have complications in the early stages, such as:)

Step 2: Use a warm towel to gently wipe the skin around the stoma.

Step 3: Spray or apply the skin protectant evenly on the skin around the stoma, wait for about 20 seconds, and the protectant will naturally form a protective film.
