Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This 3-way crossover study aims to evaluate whether colostomy bags with an active chamber filter system reduce the incidence of filter-related complications, such as ballooning and pancaking, help neutralise odour, and minimise faecal leakage through the filter compared to colostomy bags with a protective filter

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will recruit participants living with a colostomy who experience complications related to colostomy bag filters. The study follows a repeated-measures design, in which each participant will test three types of colostomy bags (A, B, and C) over a 21-day period, divided into three 7-day test periods. During each test period, participants will use one type of colostomy bag for 7-days or up to 21 closed bags. Participants will be instructed to change the colostomy bag as often as they normally would or whenever they deem it necessary
