Additional Information for Loop Colostomy Bowel Support
Loop colostomy bowel support is a medical device used to provide support and protection to the loop colostomy stoma. A loop colostomy is a surgical procedure in which a loop of the colon is brought to the surface of the abdomen to create an artificial opening called a stoma. This allows waste to bypass a diseased or damaged part of the colon.
The loop colostomy bowel support is designed to fit around the stoma and provide a secure and comfortable fit. It helps to prevent the stoma from retracting or sinking into the abdomen, which can cause complications such as leakage or skin irritation. The support also helps to protect the stoma from external pressure or trauma.
Loop colostomy bowel supports are typically made of soft and flexible materials, such as silicone or hydrocolloid, which are gentle on the skin and allow for easy movement. They are available in various sizes to accommodate different stoma sizes and shapes.
These supports are classified under the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." This classification indicates that they are considered essential medical devices used in surgical procedures and are part of the broader category of supplies used in medical, dental, and veterinary settings.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or a medical supplier to determine the specific type and size of loop colostomy bowel support that is suitable for an individual's needs.
