What is an Ostomy?

The word ostomy signifies a type of surgery required when a person has lost the normal function of the bladder or bowel due to birth defects, disease, injury or other disorders. Such operations include colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy. The surgery allows for normal bodily wastes to be expelled through a new surgical opening (stoma) on the abdominal wall. Most persons with ostomies must wear special appliances over the stoma. An ostomate is a person who has had ostomy surgery. Related surgeries are surgeries of the bowel or urinary system that correct birth defects, illness or injury while preserving continence.

Use of products

These products prevent the pouch containing the bodily wastes from smelling when patient is emptying or changing pouches. The product eliminates odour from gases immediately, the changing or emptying a pouch can take place in privacy, without having to worry about unpleasant smells. The unique system contains and perfumes the individually wrapped used osotomy appliances in a pleasantly fragrance deodorising bag. An additional benefit is the ability to dispose of the used pouch when convenient. The fragrant wipes are used to cleanse and moisten the surgical opening (stoma). These products are environmental friendly, Skin friendly (does not harm the stoma) and pleasantly scented (does not harm pouch and does not clash with personal scent). The disposal system is specifically designed to cocoon each soiled item and to provide discreet and hygienic disposal of colostomy pouches which are also known as colostomy bags, or stoma care products, ostomy products, ostomy pouches and ostomy appliances.

This market requires patients to use various forms of wipes, swabs and ancillary equipment in the treatment of their condition.

The need to keep patients out of hospital is placing greater emphasis on support from the home.

The patients require product on an ongoing basis from leaving hospital onwards and therefore the business is generating steady continual growth.

The business development strategy is based on listening to the customers needs and reacting by producing suitable Drug Tariff items.
