An ostomy belt attaches to the pouch belt adapters of ostomy and colostomy bags to hold them in place, especially if the abdomen is uneven or rounded. It is also recommended to wear one when performing colostomy irrigation to secure the irrigation sleeve. Ostomy belts are adjustable to varying degrees and usually come in a neutral color that is designed to go unnoticed under clothing. A colostomy support belt is wider and it is used to prevent hernia after surgery.
