Hollister New Image Two-Piece Urostomy Pouch FAQs
What is the main purpose of a urostomy pouch?
A urostomy pouch is designed to collect and manage urine output (effluent) from the stoma. Unlike colostomy or ileostomy pouches, urostomy pouches are drainable and have a tap or valve at the bottom for quick and frequent emptying throughout the day.
How does the anti-reflux valve work?
The anti-reflux valve is a feature built into the internal structure of the urostomy pouch. It acts like a one-way mechanism that prevents urine that has collected in the bottom of the pouch from flowing back up and pooling around the stoma, which can help prevent skin irritation and potential infection.
Can this pouch be used for overnight drainage?
Yes, this urostomy pouch is designed with an adjustable drain valve (tap) at the bottom that can be easily connected to a bedside collector or night drainage bag. This allows for continuous and uninterrupted drainage of urine while sleeping.
What does the Teardrop Indicator on the tap signify?
The teardrop indicator is a visual cue on the drain valve (tap). It provides a clear, quick way to confirm whether the valve is securely open or closed, giving the user confidence that the tap is sealed when not draining.
