Ostomy Care

A colostomy is a surgically created opening in the abdomen through which a small portion of the large intestine is brought to the surface of the skin. The new opening, called a stoma, allows stool to pass directly out of the body. ConvaTec has developed skin barriers and pouches to best manage a colostomy.

An ileostomy is a surgically created opening in the abdomen through which a small portion of the ileum or small intestine is brought to the surface of the skin. The new opening, called a stoma, allows stool to pass directly out of the body. ConvaTec has developed skin barriers and pouches to best manage a ileostomy.

A urostomy, or urinary diversion is a surgically-created opening in the abdomen that allows urine to pass directly out of the body. ConvaTec has developed skin barriers and pouches to best manage a urostomy.
