Assessment of Colostomy Bags With an Active Chamber Filter System and Incidence of Filter-Related Complication

Conditions studied: Colostomy - Stoma, Colostomy Complications

In brief

This 3-way crossover study aims to evaluate whether colostomy bags with an active chamber filter system reduce the incidence of filter-related complications, such as ballooning and pancaking, help neutralise odour, and minimise faecal leakage through the filter compared to colostomy bags with a protective filter
