Hello,
Happy Christmas everyone.
I am an ostomy patient. I use the Coloplast ostomy plugs and recently they have been removed.
Does someone know any alternative for these? They are quite important for my daily life and I would really appreciate any recommendations.
Thank you
Hi Ozzy P
Do you mean that Coloplast have stopped making/supplying the plugs? Have you checked with your stoma nurse on other options, or had a look at other manufacturers? I don’t irrigate with my colostomy, so I’m afraid I don’t have the relevant experience you’re looking for, but I’d be asking the stoma supply company nurse if you are not in contact with your own stoma nurse.
Hope you can find something suitable to replace what you used.
