Ostomy care accessories are designed to enhance performance and comfort of an ostomy pouching system. There are various types of ostomy care accessories such as skin protection & skin barriers, belt, tapes and adhesives, irrigation sets & sleeves, convex inserts and stoma caps. Irrigation sets and sleeves may be used by some colostomies to reduce or eliminate the need to constantly wear a colostomy bag by cleaning stool directly out of the colon through the stoma. Stoma capes are small sized plastic cups or closed pouches that are worn for a short period of time for occasions such as swimming, playing sports, or during intimate moments where patients do not want to wear ostomy pouch as these are big in size and have high visibility. Stoma capes can also be used after irrigation when output has become predictable.

Ostomy care accessories market is growing mainly driven by increasing number of ostomates, technological advancement, and product innovation, and increasing the incidence of gastrointestinal disease. Also, rising awareness about ostomy care accessories available in the market and growing aging population are fuelling the growth of ostomy care accessories market globally. Ostomy care accessories find various applications such as sealing, cleaning, drainage, and lubrication. Stoma sealing helps reduce the risk of leakage.
