A continent ostomy catheter is a medical tube used to help empty an internal continent ostomy reservoir, such as a continent ileostomy or Kock pouch. It is inserted through the stoma opening to allow stored output to drain from the internal pouch when directed by the customer’s healthcare provider.
Continent ostomy catheters can vary by French size, tip style, length, material, sterility, disposability, and compatibility with a specific continent ostomy system. Product specifications and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully to confirm catheter size, material, intended use, and whether the catheter is appropriate for the customer’s pouching or reservoir care routine.
