Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about a person who needs to use single-use ostomy bags due to a hand injury and is seeking advice on the best bag size, frequency of changes, and the number of bags needed per week.

Advice and Insights
- Consider using a 2-piece disposable system for easier and faster bag changes.
- The type of ostomy and the amount of output will influence the choice of bag and the frequency of changes.
- For those with limited hand mobility, practicing changing and draining the bag with one hand before the surgery can be helpful.
- Consider using different parts of the affected hand or using surrounding objects to assist with bag changes.
- The number of bags needed per week depends on the frequency of draining and the potential for higher output days.
- Closed-end pouches may be suitable for colostomies, while ileostomies with liquid output may require more frequent changes and bags with absorbing power.
- For ileostomies, consider using tissue to absorb liquid and prevent pooling.
