Ostomy Supplies
What is Ostomy?
An ostomy refers to the surgically created opening in the body for the discharge of body wastes. A stoma is the actual end of the ureter or the small or large bowel that can be seen protruding through the abdominal wall. The most common specific types of ostomies are described below.

Our wide range of comfortable, secure pouch and skin barrier options allow you to find a customized system that works best for your ostomy type and lifestyle.
An ostomy involves creating an opening in your abdominal wall and redirecting waste away from a damaged or disease organ. This, in turn, changes the way that urine or stool exits the body. After an ostomy, a stoma will connect to an external pouch where the urine or stool will be collected. Depending on your procedure, ostomies may be permanent or reversible.
