ObjectiveTo design an adjustable plastic tray cutter for ostomy bag and discuss its application effect.

MethodsA total of 84 patients with ostomy surgery from March 2020 to March 2021 were selected and divided into observation group and control group, 42 cases in each group. The control group used special scissors for stoma to cut the plastic disc of the ostomy bag, the observation group used an adjustable ostomy plastic tray cutter to cut the ostomy plastic tray. The time of patients independently completing the tailored ostomy plastic disc, difficulty score of tailoring plastic tray for ostomy bag, number of cases of proper, inappropriate and scrapped plastic tray for ostomy bag, and leakage of the plastic disc in the ostomy bag on the eighth day after surgery were compared.

ResultsThe time of patients independently completing the cutting of pocket plastic disc in the observation group was less than that in the control group(P < 0.01). The cutting of colostomy plastic disc in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P < 0.05), the difficulty of plastic disc cutting was lower than that of the control group(P < 0.05), and the leakage rate of plastic disc was lower than that of the control group on the eighth day after operation(P < 0.05).

ConclusionsThe adjustable plastic tray cutter for ostomy bag can realize rapid and accurate cutting of pocket plastic disc according to different stoma shapes, with low scrap rate and convenience for patients.
