New Surgical Appliances on YouTube: Ostomy Cure Ties and Ostomy Ilio Night Pouch

I was bored.

I went to see what all the fuss was about on this new type of surgical appliance. I like to think of it as an internal wafer on steroids.

"Ostomy Cure Ties System" it's called. Frankly, I'm not sure it's worth the effort, but it's in trials in the UK and Sweden. All you do is Google "Ties Ostomy" and you will see it. So I was looking further on YouTube, scrolling, and saw something else like this called an ostomy plug, where it uses magnets surgically inserted magnets to hold the wafer on. (To me, it looks like a mini foghorn! Ship blows horn.)

This new invention is still undergoing trials. However, no replies were given under these ads, and there were many questions about it. No contact info from what I saw. Hmm (horn blowing in the distance).

Seems like everything is happening across the pond.

Hmm. Well, closer to home, and I am still puzzled by this other item which Coloplast makes, called an "Ostomy Ilio Night Pouch". The girl on YouTube was pretty confident about it and said she uses it occasionally. It is reusable (eww). Well, take a Google look or YouTube it. It appears to be a large tadpole-pouch, like four feet long. A better image would be a four-foot-long leg. Ha ha. I think it's called Assure 2 Piece. Definitely something for Halloween. My friend Bob would make a hat out of it. It's just creepy.

But the kicker, she said, was "it's great for ilios cause it holds all the liquid we make at night without having to get up 3-4 times to empty." (I didn't see how she emptied it though - a job for two people, you think?)

Am I the only one who does solids? Hardly get liquids, but I am more prone to solids than liquids. So I wonder how this would work for me, but not really too concerned. I do like a good night's sleep, but sleeping with a leg of shit beside me? (It holds two liters!) I don't think counting sheep will help. - Warrior

Hi warrior, another guy and myself had posted a link to https://ostomycure.com/. I looked at it but I think it is just for ileostomy. Also, I'm not sure I would want that thing put in me. Here is another video about larger bags for night use, but not the one you saw. It may not last all night but holds more than a regular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwNBFrfrLvc&t=7s.

Hi lovely. Checked out that last link. It is awfully wide. Dunno how sleeping with this thing would be safer.

I saw it has a funnel at the end for drainage. Not good for solids like me.

Maybe someone with liquid output could benefit.

That guy narrating needs Bob's cool hat.

When I tried to exit YouTube my entire phone locked up. Did you have that issue? Had to reboot phone. Kinda scary. Thanks for sharing. Someone else will definitely use that type of bag. Cheers!!

Hi warrior, I did not have a problem with the video. Sorry you did. I thought you had an ileostomy. It did look kind of wide, but I was just thinking about some people on here that had said they have to get up several times a night to empty. That guy has done a lot of videos about all kinds of ostomy supplies. I think that may be his job, and he could use Bob's cool hat. I went back to the video by the link I posted, did not have a problem. Take care.

Thanks for following up with me. Yes, I do have an ileo. Just check profiles if in doubt. And yes, I do get up a few times during the night. However, that is slowing down a bit since I try to eat before 8pm. It really knocks you out trying to get up for work in the morning. Like clockwork, certain times, give or take 10 minutes. Hate it. So I am adjusting. You take care. Thanks again. Warrior

Ok, my ears were ringing..........so who's talking about me. Must be Warrior.......aka Mr. Solid. I'll give ya a solid all right.......Bang, Zoom...to the moon Alice! Let me finish cooking my onion rings and I'll jump on the couch with my laptop and check out all that you and CowboyHatLovelyGirl are talking about. That butt plug sounds interesting. Now where did I put my newest cool hat..........???

Yeah, I stole it. It's a bad habit I learned while living in New Jersey.
