Infant Ostomy Trainer

Caring for a baby with an ostomy may feel overwhelming. The Infant Ostomy Trainer has been created to educate caregivers and parents on how to give special care to an infant with a stoma. This trainer will help by teaching step-by-step procedures for cleaning and caring for a baby's stoma and changing the pouching system. The anatomy of the colostomies were carefully reproduced to provide lifelike appearance and functions. A soft, pliable material is used for the stomas in order to achieve the most realistic tactile sensation. The syringes included are used to inject simulated stool through ports to the colostomy sites. Consistency of the simulated stool can be thinned by adding water. The colostomy sites can also be irrigated. The simulated stool may be reused.
