Abstract
Ostomy apparatuses and methods of use are disclosed herein. An example apparatus can include an ostomy interface configured to be inserted into a stoma of a patient, the ostomy interface being shaped so as to prevent disassociation of the ostomy interface from the stoma, the ostomy interface having an annular upper flange; and a securement interface that is configured to lockingly mate with the annular upper flange of the ostomy interface and couple an ostomy bag to the ostomy interface.
