A Kock pouch catheter is a continent ostomy catheter used to help drain stored output from a Kock pouch, which is a type of internal continent ileostomy reservoir. The catheter is used through the stoma opening to access the internal pouch when directed by the customer’s healthcare provider.
Kock pouch catheters are different from standard external ostomy pouches because they are used to empty an internal reservoir rather than collect output outside the body. Product specifications and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully to confirm catheter size, French size, tip style, length, material, sterility, disposability, and compatibility with the customer’s Kock pouch or continent ostomy system.
