These products are typically the first pouches applied in the OR following ostomy surgery. The one-piece drainable minimizes pressure on the abdomen, the soft drainable outlet accommodates the post-operative liquid output, and the inspection window allows a nurse to inspect and / or tend to the new stoma or wound. Thereafter, non-sterile bags are used for ostomy management both prior to and after the patient is discharged from the hospital.
On July 19, 2011 Coloplast became aware of the failure or routine sterility testing for one lot of SenSuera and Assura Post-Op Ostomy Bags. Based on these results it was determined that all affected lots be recalled and quarantined. This affects lots manufactured and distributed from January 2010 until July 19, 2011.
