- An ostomy is a
surgically created opening connecting an internal organ to the surface
of the body. Different kinds of ostomies are named for the organ
involved. The most common types of ostomies in intestinal surgery are an
"ileostomy" (connecting the ileal part of the small intestine to the
abdominal wall) and a "colostomy" (connecting the colon, or, large
intestine to the abdominal wall).
- An ostomy bag having
a liquid-gas separation device includes a separator disposed within a
flexible film pouch used as an ostomy bag. The separator is made of an
absorbent material to collect liquids and separate these components from
any gas entering the ostomy bag through the stomal opening thereof.
- Ostomy bags consist
of either a skin-adhesive plate with an attached bag or two separate
parts in which the bag is replaced more often than the adhesive plate. A
good ostomy bag makes the user feel comfortable and is discreet,
allowing the user to live as normal a life as possible.
- Ostomy surgery is a
procedure in which the diseased part of the small or large intestine is
removed and the remaining intestine is attached to an opening in the
abdomen.
- The global market
for ostomy products is influenced by the extent to which products are
reimbursed, and the market is under continuing expansion in step with
the establishment of new healthcare systems in countries such as
Russia and
Asia
- Demand for ostomy
products is impacted by three particular aspects. As the number of old
people and intestinal cancer patients rises, demand for ostomy follows.
The global market is growing by about 1-3%. There are about 1.3 million
stoma patients worldwide.
-
Sales of ostomy products increased by 15% in local currencies.
Coloplast is continuing to win market share, as the world market for
ostomy products is estimated to be growing at a rate of
4-8%.
