Sachets put in the bag that turn watery output into gel, and drops or sprays that cut down on smell, used mostly with an ileostomy.
Part IXC of the NHS Drug Tariff lists 13 rows of ostomy discharge solidifying agents in November 2026 (for example Absorbian sachets from Charles S Bullen Stomacare, Morform sachets and ConvaTec's Esenta Diamonds) and 46 rows of ostomy deodorants (for example Respond's Neutralise, Day-drop and Coloplast Brava). Gelling agents make high-output bags easier to empty and less likely to leak; they do not reduce how much fluid is lost, which matters for dehydration with a high-output ileostomy and is managed medically.
Superabsorbent polymers in a sachet absorb liquid output in the bag to form a gel; deodorants neutralise or mask odour compounds in the bag.
