INDWELLING FECAL DRAINAGE CATHETER AND FECAL COLLECTION OR OSTOMY POUCH

摘要

A chlorine dioxide releasing compound is used with a fecal management catheter and/or a fecal collection pouch (e.g. an ostomy pouch). The chlorine dioxide releasing compound releases, when activated in use, chlorine dioxide gas that permeates within the catheter and/or pouch. The chlorine dioxide gas is a strong oxidizing agent. The chlorine dioxide gas is highly effective in (i) controlling odor; and (ii) eliminating problematic bacteria such as C-diff and MRSA.
