New Solution for High Output Pouches - Stoma Container & Bulb Device

This topic is about a new device called the "Stoma Container & Bulb" from Stomagienics, which might be a helpful tool for people with high-output ostomies. The device includes a clear plastic container that fits over the stoma and a squeeze-bulb, designed to help change the ostomy barrier without worrying about leaks. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. **General Description and Use**:
- The device involves sliding a tube over the stoma, which has an absorbent liner to capture output while you clean and prepare the skin.
- You can then slide the new barrier over the tube, remove the tube, and attach the pouch. This can be used with both one-piece and two-piece systems.
- Alternatively, you can leave the tube inside the bag and remove it through the bag’s drain.

2. **Where to Learn More**:
- To understand the product better, watch the two videos available on the STOMAGIENICS.COM website, as they provide clearer explanations than written descriptions.

3. **Limitations for High-Output Users**:
- The inner material is absorbent, not vacuum-based, which might not be sufficient for those with large volumes of output.
- Removing the tube before the bag is fully in place could lead to leaks, requiring repeated cleaning.

4. **Suggested Improvements**:
- Users with high output suggest a vacuum device with an "L-shaped" tube that remains in place until the bag is fully attached, which could then be removed through the drain opening.

5. **Alternative DIY Ideas**:
- One user has created custom baseplates with a short internal pipe and a modified 90-degree waste bend to direct output straight down a drainage sleeve, preventing pancaking.
- Another idea involves a homemade pouch that opens at both the top and bottom, with a Velcro closure at the bottom for draining and a flap at the top for rinsing, similar to standard long irrigation sleeves but designed for everyday use.
