Abstract
A closed drainage system for irrigating ostomies which consists of 1) a standard hospital enema bag and tube, 2) a colostomy bag with a stop cock valve and with a flapped opening for receiving an enema bag tube, 3) a collection bag tube, and 4) a collection bag with hanging hooks and a drain spout. The system allows for large volume ostomy irrigation and, further, allows for the products of irrigation to be enclosed until their controlled removal thereby containing offensive odors, preventing soiled sheets and reducing the risk of spreading infectious diseases.
