Bard SMS002 DigniShield Stool Management System

The DigniShield system is an essential tool for healthcare providers in acute care, long-term care, and home health settings, offering a reliable solution to a challenging and often under-addressed aspect of patient care.

Key Features

Comprehensive Stool Management
The DigniShield system is designed to effectively manage fecal incontinence by safely containing and diverting stool away from the patient’s skin. This helps to prevent skin breakdown and irritation, which are common complications associated with prolonged exposure to moisture and bacteria. By maintaining skin integrity, the system promotes patient comfort and reduces the risk of pressure ulcers and infections.

Easy-to-Use Design
The DigniShield Stool Management System features an intuitive design that simplifies the process of managing fecal incontinence. The system includes a soft, flexible catheter that is gently inserted into the rectum to channel stool into a collection bag. The user-friendly interface ensures that healthcare providers can quickly and easily set up the system, minimizing disruption to patient care.

Soft, Flexible Catheter
The catheter component of the DigniShield system is made from a soft, flexible material that conforms to the patient’s anatomy, providing a secure and comfortable fit. The atraumatic tip and tapered design ensure gentle insertion and minimize discomfort during use. The catheter is also designed to remain securely in place, reducing the need for frequent adjustments.

Large Capacity Collection Bag
The system includes a large capacity collection bag that can hold significant volumes of stool, reducing the need for frequent bag changes. This feature is particularly beneficial in managing high-output patients, ensuring that the system remains effective and efficient over extended periods. The collection bag is also equipped with a sampling port, allowing for easy stool sampling without disrupting the system.

Odor Control
The DigniShield system is designed with integrated odor control features to maintain a more pleasant environment for both patients and caregivers. The closed system helps contain odors within the collection bag, minimizing unpleasant smells and enhancing patient dignity and comfort.

Infection Prevention
By effectively containing and diverting stool, the DigniShield system helps reduce the risk of infection for both patients and healthcare providers. The closed system minimizes the potential for cross-contamination, while the easy-to-clean components ensure that the system can be maintained hygienically. This focus on infection prevention is critical in healthcare settings where infection control is a top priority.

Clinical Benefits

Enhanced Patient Comfort
The soft, flexible catheter and secure fit of the DigniShield system ensure that patients experience minimal discomfort during use. By effectively managing fecal incontinence, the system helps maintain skin integrity and reduces the risk of skin irritation and breakdown, enhancing overall patient comfort.

Improved Hygiene
The DigniShield system significantly improves hygiene by safely containing and diverting stool. This helps maintain a clean and sanitary environment for patients, reducing the risk of infection and promoting better overall health outcomes. The system also simplifies the process of maintaining patient hygiene, reducing the burden on healthcare providers.

Reduced Risk of Skin Complications
Prolonged exposure to stool can lead to severe skin complications, including pressure ulcers and infections. The DigniShield system helps mitigate these risks by keeping stool away from the skin, promoting faster healing and preventing further complications. This is particularly important for bedridden or immobile patients who are at higher risk of skin breakdown.

Efficient Care Management
The easy-to-use design and large capacity collection bag of the DigniShield system streamline the process of managing fecal incontinence. Healthcare providers can quickly set up and maintain the system, reducing the time and effort required for patient care. This efficiency allows providers to focus on other critical aspects of patient care, improving overall workflow and productivity.
