Stoma bag filter-related issues, such as ballooning (the bag filling with gas), remain highly prevalent among users. The full-circle filter was purposely designed to reduce ballooning through the inclusion of a unique, full-circle pre-filter. Two similar randomized crossover trials were conducted to compare the performance of the full-circle filter with a dual filter in adults with a colostomy (n = 20) or an ileostomy (n = 20). The frequency of ballooning was significantly lower with the full-circle filter versus the dual filter in participants with a colostomy ( < 0.0007) and in participants with an ileostomy ( < 0.0001). No significant differences were observed in the frequency of other issues (pancaking, odor problems, and ostomy solution discretion) between the filters. On average, participants with an ileostomy wore ostomy solutions with the full-circle filter for 3.3 h longer than ostomy solutions with the dual filter ( < 0.0001); wear-time in users with a colostomy was comparable between the filters. Considering the lack of published research on stoma bag filters and the high prevalence of filter-related issues, these data provide important information for health care practitioners who support people living with a stoma.
造口袋过滤器相关问题，如膨胀（袋子充满气体），在使用者中仍然非常普遍。全环过滤器特意设计通过包含独特的全环预过滤器来减少膨胀。进行了两项类似的随机交叉试验，以比较全环过滤器与双过滤器在结肠造口术成人（n = 20）或回肠造口术成人（n = 20）中的性能。在结肠造口术参与者中（< 0.0007）以及在回肠造口术参与者中（< 0.0001），使用全环过滤器时膨胀的频率明显低于使用双过滤器时。在过滤器之间，其他问题（压扁、气味问题和造口溶液渗漏）的频率未观察到显著差异。平均而言，回肠造口术参与者使用全环过滤器佩戴造口用品的时间比使用双过滤器时长3.3小时（< 0.0001）；结肠造口术使用者中两种过滤器的佩戴时间相当。鉴于缺乏关于造口袋过滤器的已发表研究以及过滤器相关问题的高发生率，这些数据为支持造口患者的医护人员提供了重要信息。
