An ostomy bag cover is formed of a single piece of a soft knit fabric, folded and sewn so that there are no rough edges in contact with the patient. The cover contains the ostomy bag and isolates the patient from direct contact of the plastic bag with the skin. The cover has a distal side panel and left and right proximal side panels that meet at a vertical midline on the patient side of the cover. The panels are left detached from one another from the top seam partway down the midline to define a vertical slot through which the fitting or flange of the ostomy bag protrudes. Another slot is provided along the bottom seam to accommodate a drain tube.

A cover for an ostomy bag of the type which has a proximal side facing an ostomy patient and a distal side facing away from the patient, with a fitting on an upper portion of the proximal side that engages a stoma that has been surgically attached to the patent\s abdomen and with a releasably closed drain tube at a lower end of the ostomy bag; the cover being formed of a single piece of a flexible, knit material and comprising a distal panel and left and right proximal panels unitary with said distal panel forming seamless left and right edges, and with said proximal panels meeting at a vertical midline; said distal panel and proximal panels being sewn together at the top and bottom edges thereof to form a top seam and a bottom seam, respectively, of said cover; said proximal panels forming a vertical slit along said midline from said top to a predetermined point on said proximal midline, said vertical slit being openable to permit insertion and removal of the ostomy bag through the slit, and conforming around the fitting of the ostomy bag such that said fitting projects proximally through said slit; said left and right proximal panels being joined below said predetermined point to form a vertical seam; and a slit below said predetermined point for access to said drain tube.
