Clinical Case Study
Improving confidence and reducing the fear of leaks
Mr Red*, a 75 year-old gentleman, had his urostomy formed following a cystectomy for bladder cancer. His stoma was flat and flush to the skin, making it difficult for a stoma pouch to achieve a secure seal. This resulted in numerous leaks and harmed Mr Red’s physical and psychological wellbeing.
Clinical Case Study
Providing gentle support for a flush stoma and a rounded abdomen
Ms Orange* is a 78-year-old lady who had an end-colostomy formed in 2020 following a total abdominal hysterectomy. Ms Orange has a large, rounded stomach where the stoma is poorly spouted and flush to the skin. When sat upright, the stoma sits within a recessed area, and this can be exaggerated by movement.
Clinical Case Study
Facilitating an effective seal around a parastomal hernia, simplifying stoma care and leading to peristomal skin improvements
Ms Yellow* had an end colostomy formed following an emergency Hartmann’s procedure for perforation due to diverticular disease. Ms Yellow had no previous bowel related medical history, however, there was a history of falls which affected her stoma care.
