New implant could replace stoma bags for bowel control
NCT ID NCT07413822
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early study tests a new device called TIES® that is surgically implanted in the abdomen to help people with a permanent ileostomy or colostomy control when they empty their bowels. Ten adults will receive the implant during a stoma revision surgery and be followed for 16 weeks to check safety, how well it works, and its effect on quality of life. The goal is to see if this device can be a better alternative to traditional stoma bags.
