An ostomy device includes an inflatable member and a tubing. The inflatable member defines a hole extending therethrough. The inflatable member is configured to extend about a portion of an intestine proximate a stoma. In an operative configuration, the inflatable member movable between a deflated configuration, in which the stoma is maintained in an open position, and an inflated configuration, in which the inflatable member expands to decrease a size of the hole such and close the stoma. The tubing extends from a first end connected to the inflatable member to a second end. A channel of the tubing is in communication with an interior of the inflatable member such that inflation fluid is configured to flow through the tubing to move the inflatable member between the deflated and inflated configurations.
