title: Stoma care: finding the most appropriate appliance.
abstract: Over the last 25 years a wide range of stoma appliances have become available via the Drug Tarriff because of the post-war development of plastics. Before deciding which is the most appropriate appliance for the stoma patient to use, it is important to carry out an holistic assessment and understand which type of stoma bag is correct for the appropriate stoma.
