Colostomy Irrigation Supplies: Enhancing Comfort and Confidence.
Understanding Colostomy Irrigation:
Living with a colostomy, whether temporary or permanent, can be a life-changing experience. Colostomy irrigation is a procedure that allows individuals with colostomies to manage their bowel movements more effectively and regain a sense of control over their lives.
What is a Colostomy?
A colostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening (stoma) in the abdominal wall through which a portion of the colon (large intestine) is brought to the surface of the skin.
How Colostomy Irrigation Works:
Colostomy irrigation is similar to an enema, with water being placed into the stoma. After being assessed by your healthcare team, you'll be taught how to perform irrigation at home. Here's how it works:
- Allow approximately one hour for the irrigation procedure.
- Place water into your stoma using special irrigation equipment, including an irrigation bag, a sleeve, and a stoma cone.
- After irrigation, use either a stoma cap or a one- or two-piece closed pouch to cover and protect the stoma.
Your ostomy care nurse can help you determine the exact timing and frequency for irrigation. Daily or every other day is common.
Benefits of Colostomy Irrigation:
- Improved Bowel Control
- Enhanced Quality of Life
- Reduced Odor and Gas
Supplies Needed for Colostomy Irrigation:
- Irrigation Bag: Used to hold the water for irrigation.
- Sleeve: Helps to guide the water from the irrigation bag into the stoma.
- Stoma Cone: Assists in directing the flow of water into the stoma during the irrigation process.
- Stoma Lubricant: Stoma lubricant makes inserting the stoma cone more comfortable, it is suggested but not required. However, it does cut down on friction.
Several reputable brands offer a range of colostomy irrigation supplies to meet the diverse needs of patients, including Convatec, Coloplast, and Hollister Adapt.
