Many patients fear their lives will change permanently for the worse following an ostomy.  However, there are products available today that allow patients to live full and healthy lives after ostomy surgery.  With the help of our suppliers, we are confident that there is a proper system for any one’s unique needs and lifestyle.

ConvaTec offers several types of systems for the post-surgery patient, whether following a colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy.  Their one-piece systems combine the pouch and skin barrier into a single unit and are discreet with a simple, flexible low profile.  In their two-piece systems, the pouch and skin barrier are separate so that the pouch can be removed by itself.  An audible security coupling can be heard when the two pieces are locked into place. 

ConvaTec’s two-piece Adhesive Coupling Technology ™ employs a foam adhesive ring that eliminates the need for traditional plastic coupling rings.  This improves flexibility, provides a lower profile under clothing and enables ease of pouch change.

The company offers a variety of drainable, closed, and urostomy pouches.  Pediatric systems are available, as well.  In addition, ConvaTec offers a variety of accessories including wipes, protective powders, paste, strips, belts and more.

Hollister introduced its first ostomy pouch in 1964 and has been constantly improving its products—and patients’ quality of life—ever since. 

With its line of one-piece and two-piece systems, Hollister focuses on ease of use, including emptying and cleaning, as well as comfort in the wearing of its products.  An enhanced sense of security is provided by the company’s deodorizing and venting filter made of activated carbon granules.  Hollister offers an extensive line of systems plus accessories.  As with ConvaTec, the company offers a pediatric line. 

Genairex created Securi-T ™ ten years ago as an economical product line that does not compromise on quality.  Based on the company’s hydrocolloid skin barrier strips that protect the skin without compromising security and comfort, Securi-T ™ can be used with a variety of ostomy systems.  In addition, this product is a reimbursable-friendly option for patients. 

Genairex offers one- and two-piece ostomy systems in standard and extended wear, available as drainable or closed, with or without filters.  Top-notch customer support is a company priority.
