Aura Plus the Perfect Fit for Exercise

Like many ostomates Danny had his concerns about exercising and whether he may experience leaks while continuing to live his active lifestyle. Danny has been using our Aura Plus stoma pouch and always puts his pouch through its paces while he’s at the gym and playing football with his son.
