Types of Ostomy Supplies Before you buy an ostomy care product, it is first important to understand how to take care of it and to know what are the different kinds of ostomy supplies available in the market, how they work, and how to use them. You will find all varieties of such equipment at Vesalius Health. Buy An Ostomy Care Product: https://www.vesaliushealth.com/product/filtered-ostomy-pouch-premierflextend-12-length-1-5-stoma-drainable-pre-cut-box-of-5/ Pouch Support The way your stoma is built and its surrounding skin area has a huge impact on the security of your pouching system. The pouch support that is attached to the wafer makes sure that the bag is in place. They offer extra support to the abdomen and give a sense of security. You will require the belt if your flange/wafer is not sealed tightly to the skin and there is persistent leakage. The ostomy belt will easily fix the pouching system to the abdomen and prevent the lifting of the borders of the wafer. People who have hernia or those who are very active in sports require ostomy belts. They can purchase the ostomy supplies like Colostomy Barrier FlexWear Pre-Cut Tape 2-¼” Flange Code Hydrocolloid 1-¼” Stoma, Colostomy Pouch Karaya 5 One-piece System 16” Length 2-½” Stoma Drainable, etc. You can avail the discount coupons at Vesalius Health website and buy these accessories at discounted prices. Pouching Systems An ostomy pouching system is helpful in collecting the bodily waste from a urostomy, colostomy, or ileostomy. It aids in safeguarding the skin around the artificial opening and keeps the ostomy pouch in place. There are two types of pouching systems - one-piece and two-piece. The former has a wafer permanently attached to the pouch and is ideal for people suffering from arthritis, bad eyesight, etc. The latter has skin barrier and pouch as separate units and reduces skin irritation. You can easily find them at online medical stores. Barrier Rings and Seals Barrier Seals and Rings avoid ostomy leaks because they fill the gaps between stoma and the wafer. Before applying the wafer, place the barrier rings around the stoma, or you can directly attach the ring to the wafer. Make sure the skin is clear and dry. There is a wide variety of barrier rings and seals, in different sizes available at the online stores.

Stoma Paste Stoma paste is used to create a strong seal between the stoma and the wafer. This paste fills up for any unevenness around the stoma and makes a flat, consistent surface. It is available in squeezable tubes and strips and can be directly applied to the wafer or stoma. Use an adhesive remover wipe or warm water with cloth to remove the stoma paste. Skin Prep You can buy several medical equipment online, including the skin protecting products like adhesive wipes, skin prep sprays, skin barrier film, etc. These wipes offer a thin layer of protection between the skin and adhesive of the pouching system. People with fragile or sensitive skin will benefit from them. You can either buy a wipe or a spray as these also help in healing the skin from irritation sores, or redness. Make sure it is applied on clean, dry skin. Odor Control The odor control products are helpful in eliminating odors. They come in bottles or in the form of drops or tablets. Any kind of leakage can cause odora and the ostomy pouch deodorant breaks the odors and kills odor-producing bacteria.
