In this video, we give you step-by-step instructions on how to empty a colostomy bag. Ostomy pouches come in a variety of styles, from drainable pouches with a closure to seal the bottom to those with a separate clamp. It is important to empty the pouch between two to six times a day, when it is 1/3 to 1/2 full of waste, to avoid any leakage or bulging under clothing. To clean the pouch, it’s recommended to use a pre-moistened towelette or clean the pouch itself. Do not use the product on the skin, as it should only be used on the pouch itself. To ensure the pouch is working correctly and to reduce the risk of leakage, it is essential to empty it regularly.
