The OstoCare team developed a device which serves as an intermediary between the ostomy bag and the intestine. It is designed to eliminate leakage and odor by creating a seal that directs all waste into the ostomy bag, while providing an interface to facilitate bag changes, fully addressing the primary shortcomings of current ostomy care systems during daily use and bag transitions.
