A urostomy bag, also known as an ostomy pouch, is a medical device used by people who have undergone urostomy surgery. Urostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating an opening in the abdominal wall called the stoma, which allows urine to exit the body when the bladder is unable to function properly.

The urostomy bag is designed to collect urine output securely and discreetly. It is attached to the stoma and can be emptied and changed regularly for hygiene purposes. The bag typically has an adhesive or clip to help keep it in place, and is made of a waterproof and odor-proof material to avoid any leakage or odor.

Like all ostomy devices, it may take some adjustments and support for the patient to get comfortable using a urostomy bag. A health care professional can provide guidance on how to properly use and care for the ostomy bag, as well as offer emotional support to help the patient adjust to the changes. Regular follow-up visits with a healthcare professional are also recommended to ensure the urostomy bag is functioning properly and that any issues are addressed promptly.
