OstoPlug by Stoma Solutions, LLC
Stoma Solutions, LLC is a nurse-founded medical device company focused on simplifying ostomy care through practical, patient-centered innovation. Our flagship product, OstoPlug™, is a single-use, non-sterile device designed to temporarily manage stoma output during ostomy pouch changes. OstoPlug addresses a common and often frustrating challenge for ostomy patients: the lack of control during appliance changes. By providing a simple, absorbent plug that can be gently inserted into the stoma, the device is intended to help minimize unexpected output, reduce mess, and support a more controlled, efficient pouching process. Designed with both patients and clinicians in mind, OstoPlug emphasizes ease of use, comfort, and accessibility. The device features a soft, biocompatible foam component and an intuitive handle to support placement and removal. Its straightforward design allows it to integrate seamlessly into existing care routines without requiring additional equipment or complex steps. Stoma Solutions is committed to improving confidence and independence for individuals living with an ostomy, while supporting WOC nurses with tools that enhance the care experience and address unmet needs in daily ostomy management.
