Homepage > One Piece Drainable Pouches >

A one-piece drainable pouch is an ostomy device that combines the skin barrier (or wafer) and the pouch into a single unit. It is designed for individuals with a colostomy or ileostomy. The drainable feature allows for easy emptying of the contents without needing to replace the entire pouch, making it ideal for more frequent output. These pouches often come with features like integrated filters, soft backing, and closure systems (like clips or Velcro).

Major Manufacturers:

Hollister Incorporated Products: New Image, Premier Series Notable for: Lock 'n Roll closure, AF300 filters, soft comfort panels.

Coloplast Products: SenSura Mio, Assura Notable for: Elastic adhesive, discreet gray fabric, full-circle filter.

Convatec Products: Esteem, SUR-FIT Natura (also available in two-piece) Notable for: Stomahesive skin barriers, filter technology, easy-view windows.

Marlen Manufacturing & Development Products: UltraLite, Kwick-View Notable for: Custom-fit options and various stoma configurations.

A one-piece drainable pouch system combines the skin barrier (wafer) and collection pouch into a single, integrated unit. Designed for simplicity and comfort, this “all-in-one” solution is ideal for individuals who prefer quick application, a low-profile fit, and a secure, flexible seal for daily use.

At ATC Medical, we offer a wide selection of one-piece drainable pouch systems from trusted manufacturers. Our products are designed to provide dependable comfort, ease of use, and discretion, helping ostomy patients maintain confidence and convenience in their daily routine.

How One-Piece Drainable Pouch Systems Work

In a one-piece drainable pouch, the skin barrier is permanently attached to the pouch, forming one cohesive appliance. The adhesive barrier seals gently to the skin around the stoma opening, while the drainable pouch collects output and can be emptied through an opening at the bottom (the “tail”).

The tail is secured using a built-in roll-up closure, clipless lock, or reusable clamp. When the one-piece pouching system is one-third to half full, it can be easily emptied, resealed, and worn again, making it convenient and hygienic for individuals with high-volume or frequent output.

Advantages of a One-Piece Drainable Ostomy System

The benefits of these systems include:

  • Slim and Discreet Fit: Without a coupling ring or flange, the pouch lies flat against the body for a natural, low-profile appearance under clothing.
  • Quick Application: A simple “peel-and-apply” system - ideal for users with limited dexterity, visual challenges, or those seeking a straightforward daily routine.
  • Secure and Leak-Resistant: Since the skin barrier and ostomy bag are one piece, there’s no risk of accidental separation, providing reassurance during active days or at night.
  • Flexible and Comfortable: The soft, unified design conforms easily to abdominal curves, scars, or irregular surfaces for better comfort and freedom to make natural body movements.

Important Considerations When Using a One-Piece Drainable Pouch

Since the entire ostomy bag-and-barrier unit is replaced together, users remove the adhesive more frequently than with two-piece systems. Those who need a more skin-friendly system may prefer a standard wear barrier for gentler removal, and may alternate between one-piece ostomy supplies depending on skin condition and lifestyle.

One-piece drainable pouching systems are especially recommended for:

  • Ileostomy users with liquid or high-volume effluent discharge
  • Colostomy users who prefer frequent changes of their one-piece ostomy pouches
  • Patients who value ease, comfort, and discretion over extended wear time
