5 Best Two Piece Ostomy Bags

5 Best Two Piece Ostomy Bags
Sailaxmi Chennuru

After ostomy surgery, you have two options when it comes to pouching systems: a one-piece system and a two-piece system. A 2-piece ostomy bag is a part of the two-piece pouching system, the other part being the skin barrier. 

The skin barrier, called a flange, wafer, or baseplate, fits around the stoma and protects the skin. The ostomy bag attaches to the baseplate and collects and stores the urine or stool. The bag is changed as needed, and the wafer generally stays in place for up to five days. Two-piece ostomy systems work with colostomies, urostomies, and ileostomies and are practical for those who change their pouch frequently.

Types of Two-Piece Ostomy Bags

Two-piece ostomy pouches are available in drainable and closed versions. Depending on the frequency of the output, one can choose between the two options.

  • Reusable or drainable ostomy bags have a closure at the bottom, allowing the user to empty the contents, wash the bag, and reuse it. This is a good option for people who have a heavy output throughout the day.
  • Closed ostomy bags are made for single use and discarded once they are filled with waste. Closed bags are less likely to leak or release odors and are great options for active people.

Advantages of the Two-Piece System

  • Reduces the frequency of flange changes.
  • Prevents skin irritation.
  • Great for sensitive or fragile skin.
  • Easy application and removal
  • The pouch and wafer fit tightly around the stoma, which prevents leaks.
  • Allows for variation of pouch size based on activity. For example, small bags are perfect for swimming and intimate moments.
