Faecal incontinence (FI) is a common denominator among hospitalized patients and has a harmful impact on social, psychological and physical functioning. Bowel management system or faecal management system is a fully closed system that collects and contains liquid or semi-liquid stool, helping to preserve skin integrity and prevent environmental contamination. Additionally, these systems enhance patient comfort and dignity, and allow more accurate fluid balance monitoring. Closed bowel management systems have been clinically shown to successfully prevent stool contact with skin, reducing chances of developing secondary complications that increase healthcare costs and extend the patient’s stay. Furthermore, they aid in the prevention and protection of perianal and sacral pressure areas.
