Drainable Pouches
A drainable pouch, as its name suggests, can be opened from the
bottom to empty the contents. A clamp is used to keep the pouch closed. A person
with a colostomy or ileostomy would use this type of pouch. A drainable pouch is
inappropriate for use by a person with a urostomy.
Closed Pouches
A closed pouch cannot be drained from the bottom. It can be taken off
and cleaned out or thrown away. A person with a colostomy would use this type of
pouch.
