A fecal management system (FMS) is a closed system designed to contain and collect fecal waste, primarily used in medical settings to manage fecal incontinence. These systems help prevent fecal contamination of the environment and patient, reduce the risk of infection, and improve patient comfort. They typically involve a rectal tube or catheter that diverts stool to an external collection bag.
