Eakin - Colostomy Pouches

A colostomy is created from the large bowel(colon) and sited on the left side of your abdomen. The output is sold/semi solid faeces which is normally managed using a closed pouch.  For Colostomates, it is best to use a closed pouch as the stoma output is usually quite firm. If the output is more liquid though, then a drainable pouch is best.
