Clinical trials

This 3-way crossover study aims to evaluate whether colostomy bags with an active chamber filter system reduce the incidence of filter-related complications, such as ballooning and pancaking, help neutralise odour, and minimise faecal leakage through the filter compared to colostomy bags with a protective filter

The purpose of this exploratory study is to obtain preliminary data on peristomal and non-peristomal skin barrier characterisation in people living with a stoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a difference/similarity in skin barrier characterisation of peristomal and non-peristomal skin in people living with a stoma? * Is there a difference/similarity in peristomal skin barrier function of different stoma types (colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy)? * Does a stoma type/function, influence skin barrier characterisation of peristomal skin? Participants will: * Attend a 1-hour study appointment * Undergo non-invasive skin procedures
