More Information
Types of Ostomy SystemsOstomy systems may include a one-piece or two-piece system. Both kinds include a flange (barrier or wafer) and a collection pouch. In the one-piece ostomy system, the flange and the pouch are attached to each other and cannot be separated. In the two-piece ostomy system, the flange and the pouch are separate and it is possible to use (change) different types of pouches for different occasions, while the same flange remains on the body. Ostomy Software will help you choose the correct ostomy system to best suit your personal preferences and body features.
