OstoMART have launched a new fragrance to add to their successful range of odour neutralising

sprays, OstoMIST.  In addition to Apple, Blackberry, Cinnamon & Sandalwood and Grapefruit, ostomates are now offered a new Mint fragrance.  It is available on prescription in two sizes, 100 ml. and 50 ml.

 

OstoMART state that the OstoMIST odour neutralising range is not a masking agent - it actually breaks through the worst odour problems.  OstoMIST can be sprayed into a stoma pouch, when changing an appliance, or can be sprayed into the room.

 

For a free sample of the new Mint fragrance, contact OstoMART on 0800 220 300.

The Joey Pouches were originally designed following Daniel Male’s own personal medical

experiences.  Recently, Daniel has introduced a fabric colostomy pouch cover to add to the highly successful range.     

 

The Joey Pouches for colostomy patients keep the pouch safe and discreet, while patients are moving around, so that they are able to get on with their lives.  The fabric pouches fit around the actual colostomy pouch.  They are offered in a range of different designs and colours - black, white, cream, purple, pink and blue & yellow flowers with a white background, so that they blend in with clothing,

and appeal to both male and female colostomates.

 

The small colostomy Joey Pouch measures 140 mm. x 220 mm.

The large colostomy Joey Pouch measures 170 mm. x 240 mm.

 

More information on the Joey Pouch range, including the Joey Pouch for colostomates can be found

on Daniel’s website - www.joeypouch.co.uk, or alternatively email Daniel - joeypouch@live.co.uk

OstoMART have announced the launch of two portable toilet kit products. These disposable products

will prove to be extremely useful for ostomates, where bathroom or toilet facilities are not available.  

 

Both products are discreet, hygienic, convenient and safe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Brief Relief Disposa-John kit is ideal for colostomates and ileostomates, and contains everything

needed to safely dispose of human faecal waste.  The patented ‘bag in bag’ design contains a special blend of polymers and enzymes, which instantly begin to break down the waste and convert it to a deodorised gel.  The final zipper closure securely seals the outer bag, safely containing the contents.

 

The portable kit provides a convenient and hygienic solution to emptying a colostomy or ileostomy pouch, when a toilet is unavailable.  Each pack contains toilet paper and an antibacterial wipe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Brief Relief Disposable Urinal Kit is perfect for urostomates, and is a convenient, portable solution

for the needs of a long day away from the bathroom.  Each bag is small and lightweight, and is made

of a strong, puncture-resistant plastic, which contains a special formulation of polymers and enzymes

that solidifies liquid instantly into a leak proof, odourless, spill-proof gel.  The gel is non toxic, and therefore is safe for disposal in any waste bin.

 

The portable kit is resealable until it is full, and each pack contains an antiseptic wipe for safe and sanitary use.  An ideal solution for when a urostomate needs to empty a urostomy pouch or leg bag, and a toilet is unavailable.  The bag will hold up to 800 ml.

 

 

Further details on both products can be obtained from OstoMART on 0800 220 300, or by visiting their website at www.ostomartstore.co.uk

Ursula Naish has just launched a new product into her successful range.  

 

Ursula has designed and created a night bag cover to fit all urinary night drainage bags.  Each cover is made to a personal specification, and is available in soft cream and soft blue.  The night bag cover is about the size of a gym bag.  It is fully waterproof inside, washable and is ideal for when an ostomate

is on holiday, or on a long-distance car journey.

 

The idea is to empty the urostomy pouch into the urinary night drainage bag, and when a toilet

is available, an ostomate can empty the night drainage bag at their convenience, without anyone else knowing what is inside. The night bag cover can also be used when the urinary night bag is

clipped to a travel, night bag stand.  

 

They are so soft, an ostomate can use them in bed.

OstoMART have launched another innovative product - new Mini Security Frames - OstoFIX Eighty.

 

OstoFIX Eighty is a strong, but gently-cushioned, mini, adhesive, shaped frame, which gives extra security and confidence, whenever an ostomate has a concern with the adhesion of their appliance.

 

OstoFIX Eighty has all-round stretch and flexibility, and can be positioned precisely around any

appliance contour and over any local scarring.  This pliability aids the reduction of edge lifting, thus greatly increasing the appliance wear time.

 

OstoFIX Eighty is perfect when smaller areas require extra adhesion, or for fixation of small appliances, e.g. fistula pouches or stoma caps.  It is coloured in discreet beige with a non-slip, matt finish, and unlike shaped hydrocolloids, it does not disintegrate with wear.

 

For further details and a free sample of this new product, please contact the customer care team at

OstoMART on 0800 220 300.

AAH Pharmaceuticals Ltd. have launched a brand new range of ostomy accessories under the

Medi brand - adhesive remover, barrier cream/film, deodorant and solidifying agent.

 

The Lifteez and Derma-S ranges are specifically formulated to provide healthcare-grade, certified ingredients, which can be safely used without causing trauma to the skin.  Both Lifteez Medical Grade Adhesive Remover and Derma-S Medical Grade Barrier Film products are ‘sting free’, when applied to the skin surrounding the stoma.  This avoids any discomfort, which may be caused with comparative, alcohol-based products.

 

These products offer a high-quality solution for both patients and healthcare professionals within the community.

Stomalert have launched a new product for colostomates and ileostomates. The product provides an early warning alert of stoma pouch leakage, caused by overfilling of the pouch, especially when an ostomate is sleeping. Stomalert senses stoma activity, and wakens the user by means of an audible alarm, allowing remedial action to be taken.  There is a choice of three different models.

Coloplast Ltd. have launched a new product into their highly-successful range.  SenSura Mio is

a new one-piece colostomy appliance designed with a unique adhesive, which is formulated to

enhance elasticity and fitting performance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The elastic adhesive is based on BodyFit™ Technology, and is designed to fit individual body shapes.  The new adhesive allows for greater pliability, enabling it to adapt to contours, hernias, scarring and skin folds.  A secure fit is maintained thanks to the appliance’s ability to respond to body movements.  Users have described it as a feeling of a secure, ‘second skin’.

 

For more information on SenSura Mio, and to order free samples, visit the website - www.sensuramio.coloplast.co.uk, or call the Customer Care Team on 0800 220 622.
