Abstract: A stoma shield for ostomy patients for covering a stoma while permitting increased maneuverability of the patient without cutting off flow within a medical device such as a colostomy bag. The stoma shield for ostomy patients includes a curved upper end and a pair of curved downward extensions extending from its lower end so as to define a curved notch. Any medical device extending from a stoma will pass under the notch so as to allow fluid flow regardless of positioning of the patient. A pair of elongated receiver slots allow connection of a strap to secure the stoma shield to a patient's body and allows the shield to be rotated for a comfortable position.
