Belts, pants and wraps that support the tummy around a stoma, worn to hold the bag securely or to support a bulge (parastomal hernia) that can develop next to a stoma.
Ostomy belts are the largest group in Part IXC of the NHS Drug Tariff: 2,507 rows in November 2026, mostly from AMI Medical (798), Nu-Hope (551), CUI (495), Kavendor (313) and Vanilla Blush (136), with lines such as Suportx, Comfizz and Nu-Hope belts. A parastomal hernia is a bulge of bowel through the abdominal wall beside the stoma; the glossary's stoma entries describe it. Support garments are made to measure or in standard sizes and are prescribed after a stoma nurse's assessment. This record does not grade whether support garments prevent hernias.
An elastic garment with or without a stoma opening applies even pressure over the abdominal wall around the stoma, supporting the baseplate and the muscles beside it.
