The adhesive paste used with a colostomy bag serves to create a secure seal between the skin and the ostomy appliance, helping to prevent leakage and skin irritation. It can also fill in any uneven skin surfaces or contours, ensuring a better fit and enhancing comfort for the wearer. Additionally, the paste can help protect the skin around the stoma from digestive enzymes and moisture.

A colostomy bag isn't a usual sort of of bag that people would have with them, especially when going out and about. The bag serves as a way for people to defecate without needing a toilet.
A colostomy bag is typically a soft, flexible pouch made of plastic or a similar material that attaches to the abdomen. It comes in various sizes and styles, often featuring a clear or opaque exterior to help monitor contents. The bag may have a closed or drainage opening, and it is secured to the skin with an adhesive flange. Overall, the design is meant to be discreet and comfortable for the wearer.

A colostomy bag is a medical device used to collect waste from the body after a colostomy procedure, which involves creating an opening in the abdominal wall (stoma) to divert stool from the colon. The bag is typically made of durable, waterproof material and is attached to the stoma with a skin-friendly adhesive. It allows individuals with certain medical conditions, such as cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, to manage bowel function and maintain quality of life. Regular maintenance and emptying are necessary to ensure hygiene and comfort.
