StomaCloak - Odor Reducing Stoma Ostomy Pouch and Bag Covers
StomaCloak’s tagline is the Security of Knowing. With StomaCloak you will know that you are comfortable, dry and free of odor. Having this security allows you to live an active lifestyle. A physician ostomate and a wound, ostomy and continence nurse developed this innovative ostomy cover, ensuring that all needs were considered when developing the product.
Odor Absorbing Molecule Technology
The molecules in StomaCloak work through physical adsorption, similar to a sponge only with air instead of water. In the fabric of clothing, molecules create a bond that traps odor molecules produced by the body, acting as a microscopic Velcro. When the odor molecules contact the molecule technology, they are trapped within the pores until the product is reactivated. Reactivation is achieved by putting the StomaCloak fabric in a dryer where the dryer’s heat will break the bond with the odor compounds. The odor compounds are released, and your StomaCloak is virtually as good as new. The StomaCloak technology includes two types of molecule components that absorb differing sizes of odor signatures. By combining these molecule types, StomaCloak can extend the range of odor absorption technology like never before.
StomaCloak creators understand how important it is to keep an ostomate’s skin dry and healthy. This stoma cover was designed to make sure the skin stays free of moisture under the ostomy appliance. Keeping your skin dry will also help ensure that your ostomy bag will stay secure. Thanks to StomaCloak’s design with wicking properties, when you get out of the shower, the pool or just finish a workout, you will be dry as soon as you put your StomaCloak on, no blow-dryer required.
StomaCloak’s creators understand that ostomates usually do not want to draw attention to their ostomy bags. Two ways StomaCloak helps with discretion is by helping with leaks and noise.
StomaCloak helps your bag stay securely on by keeping you dry. However, if a leak does happen, the StomaCloak will keep leaks contained until you get the situation taken care of.
The StomaCloak bag cover is also designed to mask the crunching sound of an ostomy bag, keeping you noise free.
Another issue the StomaCloak solves is comfort. No one enjoys the uncomfortable feeling of a cold, wet bag against your skin. StomaCloak’s wicking properties are designed to keep you dry and comfortable while you go about your daily life.
AFTER SHOWERING
Towel dry your stoma appliance bag, pass your hand into the folded end of the StomaCloak® and grasp the valve/empty end of your stoma appliance bag. Draw it down into the StomaCloak® through the round opening at the other end.
TWO PIECE APPLIANCE
Use two hands to manipulate the circle opening of the StomaCloak® around the stoma appliance flange, working from one side around to the other, seating it against the tape border of the wafer. With very little practice this can be accomplished in seconds without disrupting the plastic ring connectors between the collection bag and the stoma plate.
It may be hard to visualize the underside, but when the ring of the StomaCloak® is fully seated, it can be tested for position by slightly rotating it. It will seem to move freely without binding on the stoma appliance.
ONE PIECE APPLIANCE
Use two hands to manipulate the opening ring of the StomaCloak® around the stoma appliance flange, working from one side around to the other, seating it against the tape border of the wafer. With very little practice this can be accomplished in seconds without disrupting the plastic ring connectors between the collection bag and the stoma plate.

Simply close the folds at the bottom, one over the other, to complete the concealment.
To wash and recharge the odor adsorbing properties of the molecule technology contained in the StomaCloak®, it should be machine washed with any normal laundry soap (for best results use unscented laundry soap) on any wash cycle, then dried with heat in the dryer.
We recommend you change your StomaCloak® ostomy pouch and bag cover each time you change your wafer, usually every four days. We also recommend you have three StomaCloak® ostomy pouch and bag covers, two clean and one in use.
