Colostomy patients face significant challenges in maintaining dignity, autonomy, and social participation due to the loss of voluntary stool control (Krouse et al., 2009). Conventional appliances provide containment but not continence (Ratliff & Scarano, 2013; Steele et al., 2019). Here we present the development of an innovative user-friendly inflatable device designed to restore partial continence in colostomized patients. Building on decades of clinical experience and prior research published in Colo-Proctology (1986) (Steele, 1986), this article reviews the anatomical rationale, technological advancements, prototype development, and potential impacts on patient quality of life and environmental sustainability.
