Study of new colostomy bags with improved filter
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of colostomy bag that has a special filter system to reduce problems like ballooning, odor, and leakage. If you use a flat, closed bag and have at least one filter-related issue a week, this study might help find a better option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the skin around and away from your stoma to understand what makes healthy skin. It may help improve future stoma care products.
This study tests a new device called the TIES® system that is placed under the skin around a stoma (an opening in the belly for waste) to help hold the stoma bag securely. It may help people who have a permanent ileostomy or colostomy and need surgery to fix their stoma.
This study tests a teaching method called simulation theory to help nursing students learn colostomy care (managing a surgically created opening for waste). The goal is to see if this hands-on training approach helps students feel more confident and prepared.
This trial tests a barrier seal (TRE Seal) for people who have had a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. It looks at how well the seal works when applied right after surgery in the UK.
This study tests a new type of ostomy pouch designed to prevent leakage. If you've been having leaks, you may be able to try this prototype for a day to see if it helps.
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
