Stoma guards can help patients resume normal life much faster. These guards are easy to wear and have a much longer wear time than many other ostomy appliances. An ostomy nurse often recommends a stoma dome for ostomy care, as it allows patients to wear clothes that are comfortable without worrying about body shapes or protrusions.
For those individuals needing to wear ostomy belts or ostomy wraps, the Stealth Belt is a fashionable and sleek belt designed to provide a comfortable, supportive and protective fit. Tucked close to the body, Stealth ostomy belts are virtually unnoticeable.
For those individuals who have had a colostomy, urostomy, ileostomy or other similar procedures, ostomy bag belts provide support for the weight of medical appliances that are attached to the stoma. These colostomy wraps are carefully designed to wrap around the abdomen and securely attach to the ostomy bag. An ostomy belt creates security and support for ostomates and their colostomy bags.
