Marlen
Pouches
www.marlenmfg.com
I use
Marlen deep convexity pouches with success on softer abdomens
where the stoma is in a deep crease or skin fold. The convexity
of Marlen pouches are soft and flexible yet hold its shape
to fit into the fold. Consequently, I have not seen the
problems with pressure areas that I have seen with other
firmer convexities.
I started
using Marlen shallow convexity pouches as the softness and
flexibility of this pouch makes a comfortable fit.
My
clients like the Kwick-view. They can easily see to apply
the one piece appliance over the stoma. Then the front covering
of the pouch folds over forming a discreet opaque cloth
cover.
Marlen
offers Kwick-klose fasteners (as seen above) instead of
clip closures.
For
more information or to find out if Marlen pouches would
be appropriate for you, please call 604-522-4265 or email

Peristomal
hernias are common and troublesome. The abdominal
bulge created by the hernia can cause back and
abdominal discomfort. Finding clothing to conceal
the hernia bulge can be challenging.
We
have recently found a new ostomy hernia support
belt from Australia. Many of our ostomates have
tried it and found it to be very supportive
for both the hernia and their back. It is more
comfortable and lightweight than other products
they have tried.
The
unique thing about this belt is that it has
no opening for the pouch, yet the urine or stool
from the ostomy can still flow into the pouch
even with the belt in place.
