Additional Information for Colostomy Rod
Colostomy rods are medical devices used in the management of colostomies. A colostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the abdomen called a stoma, which allows waste to pass out of the body when the normal route is blocked or damaged.
Colostomy rods are specifically designed to provide support and stability to the stoma. They are typically made of a flexible material, such as silicone or plastic, and are inserted into the stoma to prevent it from collapsing or retracting. This helps to maintain the shape and function of the stoma, allowing for easier attachment of a colostomy bag or pouch.
Colostomy rods come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different patient needs. They are usually disposable and should be changed regularly to ensure proper hygiene and prevent complications.
In summary, colostomy rods are medical devices used to support and maintain the shape of a colostomy stoma, facilitating the attachment of a colostomy bag or pouch. They are part of the Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies supply class in the Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies supply group.
