A new skin implant to help secure permanent stoma bags
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new device called Stomasense that aims to detect and manage leaks from an ileostomy pouch earlier. It's for people who have had their ileostomy for at least 18 months and experience frequent leaks (more than once a week).
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.
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 checks whether gently stimulating the part of your bowel that leads to your stoma before it is closed can improve the balance of good bacteria in your gut and help your bowel tissue heal. This could make the reversal surgery more successful and lower the risk of complications.
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.
This study tests a new device called the Limpet that is placed over a stoma (an opening in your belly after colon surgery) to help prevent skin problems. It might help people with a new ileostomy or a high-output fistula.
