Stool management systems allow the patients to clear their rectums and some portions of their colon at regular intervals. These stool management systems also help in preventing fecal incontinence as well as intestinal continence. These systems do not rely on gravity due to the constant flow of the pump. In addition to this, the bag also does not require any kind of elevation. These new stool management systems help patients while using lavatories and toilets.
