Colostomy Stoma Shield

Time Period: 1940s

Manufacturer: -

Individuals who chose to irrigate the colostomy could use this protective metal shield to cover the stoma instead of wearing a pouch. Tissue was placed over the stoma to collect the feces and the shield provided security and protection. The shield however did not provide protection from fecal odour.
