Plastic Ostomy Supplies
Ostomy supplies are designed for comfort, odor containment and ease of use. From pouches that can help divert fluids and wastes out of the body to support garments that enable normal activities, each product is designed to improve the user's quality of life. Different sizes and shapes can accommodate a wide range of individuals.
Varied Bag Styles
You can stock up on a variety of ostomy bag styles to suit different procedures and patient preferences. For patients using catheters or other nephrostomy devices, gravity drainage bags take advantage of natural fluid flow. Leg bags help increase patient mobility without compromising drainage, while bedside bags can provide an easy-access solution for people who are confined to bed. A belly bag positions near the patient's waist, enabling efficient waste collection and helping to reduce the risk of accidental catheter extraction. For general fluid collection, you can keep a stock of disposable emesis bags on hand.
User-Friendly Designs
You can help improve the quality of life for patients with ostomy bags that feature convenient, comfortable designs. Heavy-duty vinyl bags can allow extended use, reducing the need for frequent changes. Products with reinforced seams and openings can help prevent uncomfortable leaks. Many ostomy bags are designed with integrated odor containment to help reduce unpleasant smells. In a hospital or long-term care facility, clear pouches with high-visibility measurement graduations can help staff decide when it's time to empty or change the bag. Many models are disposable to ensure a streamlined, contaminant-conscious disposal process.
Efficient Drainage
You can help ease patient discomfort and confusion with bags that promote fast, easy drainage. Teardrop-shaped pouches can help increase efficiency and reduce backups, and anti-reflux or flutter valves help eliminate backflow into the stoma. You can allow mess-free emptying with convenient flip-open valves as patients and health care workers can open and close the valve with one hand. Drainage spouts with integrated splash guards help contain waste during emptying, helping create a cleaner, more sanitary process.
Fasteners for Secure Hold
You can use secure fasteners to help patients wear ostomy bags without discomfort or attracting attention. Leg bags often come with adjustable straps that can fit the patient's body and prevent the bag from sliding. Ostomy belts help hold belly bags safely around the waist, so patients can wear normal street clothes. For active people, breathable ostomy support garments can provide extra security; they also help conceal the bag under clothing and reduce noise as the pouch and its contents move. Look for fasteners with hook-and-loop closures or elastic bands for a custom fit and extra comfort.
Easy-Order Quantities
Tackle occasional ostomy bag requirements and conserve space in your medical supply room with ostomy bags that are sold individually. Individually packaged drains and ports can enable you to customize an ostomy kit for each person. For items that are useful for multiple patients, such as leg bag straps and support garments, order in multi-packs for cost efficiency.
