Design Project One

Ostomy Bag System Redevelopment

This project includes developing an ostomy bag for those who may have trouble with the standard ones that are provided typically. Specifically, our patient was overweight and thus the regular skin barrier had caused leaking while its alternative would cause pressure ulcers to the skin. Our goal was to develop a bag and skin barrier that still fit his preferences while also combatting these important issues, optimizing its impact on our patient. The picture to the right is our prototype for the project. Please explore the other subpages to learn more about the process and the final product!
