Definition
A sterile plastic pouch designed to be attached to the skin around a large wound or fistula and intended to be used as a receptacle for exudate, blood, or other bodily wastes. It is a one-piece device, with a large-area adhesive flange that can be cut to fit closely around a wound, and which provides some skin protection. It has a tubular outlet to be connected to a drain system.

- Composition of hydrocolloid material that protects the skin and wound edges from corrosive fistula output
POUCH
- Transparent pouch with at least one dependent drainage opening that can be closed-off fluid-tight and allows connection via conical connection piece to a drainage bag (e.g. standard urine bag)

To be Ordered Separately
Peristomal dressing rings are quite effective in making irregular perifistular surfaces, smoother, hence facilitating adhesion of the pouches; they also allow irritated surrounding skin to heal as they work as a barrier seal between the edge of the fistula/wound and the bag wafer. They can be moulded and reshaped to fit irregular and odd-shaped lesions.
MSF requirements
The large pouch can be used for the treatment of open abdomen while the small one is used for fistula care.
