Ostomy Care
Ostomy Care
Colostomy and ileostomy care can be practiced on all
TERI
™
models, including stoma dilation, cleaning, and
ostomy bag changing procedures. Irrigation can be
practiced. Irrigation tubes should be well lubricated
prior to insertion. After completion of the exercises,
the stomas can be rinsed with warm water to remove
any residual lubricant. The stoma reservoirs have
a 20 cc fluid capacity.
Removal of the internal stoma reservoirs
(See Figure 24) :
1. Remove the genitalia and reach through the
genital cavity. It is recommended to suction the
fluid from the bag prior to removal to prevent
spillage when removing for cleaning.
2. The reservoir bags are attached to the underside
of the stomas. To remove push in on the L-shaped
button pull the reservoir fittings down and
disconnect from the stomas.
3. Pull the reservoir bags from the hook-and-loop
attachments. (See Figures 25 and 26). Rinse with
water to clean.
4. Reverse the procedure to reattach the internal
stoma reservoirs. Ensure reservoirs are clean and
dry prior to reattaching for storage.
