Zusammenfassung:	A medical plug apparatus (101) for use in conjunction with an ostomy procedure includes a cap (110) and an elongated cylindrical shaft (120). The cap (110) has a top surface 8112), a bottom surface (114), and a first thickness (116). The elongated cylindrical shaft extends orthogonally away from the bottom surface of the cap from a proximal end to a distal end and has shaft diameter and the shaft length adapted to plug a stoma cavity (60) upon inserting the elongated cylindrical shaft into the stoma cavity. The cap includes a gripping portion that has a gripping diameter such that, upon exerting a pulling force on the first region and the second region of the gripping portion, the elongated cylindrical shaft is directed outwardly away from the patient by the pulling force causing a substantially axial tension force on the elongated cylindrical shaft.
