Additional Information for Ostomy Irrigation Sleeve
Ostomy irrigation sleeves are medical devices used in the management of ostomies. An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the abdomen to allow waste to exit the body when the normal route is not possible. This can be due to conditions such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or birth defects.
The ostomy irrigation sleeve is a component of an irrigation system used to clean and flush the stoma, which is the opening created during the ostomy procedure. It is typically made of a soft, flexible material and is designed to fit securely over the stoma.
The irrigation process involves introducing water or a specially formulated irrigation solution into the stoma using the sleeve. This helps to remove waste and debris from the colon, promoting regular bowel movements and preventing complications such as blockages or skin irritation.
Ostomy irrigation sleeves are part of the larger category of medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies. They are specifically classified under the supply group of Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies, which encompasses a wide range of products used in healthcare settings.
These sleeves are commonly used by individuals with colostomies or ileostomies who have been trained in the irrigation technique by healthcare professionals. It is important to note that the use of ostomy irrigation sleeves should be done under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare provider.
Overall, ostomy irrigation sleeves play a crucial role in the management and care of individuals with ostomies, helping to maintain their quality of life and promote bowel regularity.
