Although Hollister medical supplies offer well known products like catheters, incontinence aids, and even some maternity products, one of their largest lines of equipment is for ostomy patients. They make one and two-piece systems, deodorizers, adhesives, cleansers and more.
If we take just a look at the two piece systems offered by Hollister medical supplies, we would find that they make top of the line skin barriers and drainable pouches that receive the frequent praises of the patients who must use them. In fact, the company is so well aware of the varying needs of patients that their barriers are actually made in a “cut to fit” design or style. This means that the patient will never need to worry about the size of their stoma, because the barrier is actually custom cut to fit their needs. There is also a special “floating flange” that lets the patient actually slide their fingers beneath it as they “lock” the pouch into place. This means no more worries about leaks, and total control over the system.
The Hollister medical supplies two part systems for ostomy patients also feature their patented “Flextend Skin Barrier” which allows for extended wear of the synthetic skin barrier that resists the effects of any stoma discharge. To make everything even more secure, the systems also employ specialized tape borders that keep the pouch firmly in place over the skin.
Hollister medical supplies also include one piece systems for ostomy patients as well. These too use a very secure fastening system that locks into place, and requires only a simple rolling procedure to seal completely. The emptying process for these systems is also extremely convenient and highly controllable thanks to the leak-proof outlets and the reinforcing strips that seal tight with a single pinch from the patient. These too are equipped with the Flextend Skin Barriers and are washable and reusable. They come with an ample supply of fasteners too.
Most ostomy patients are concerned about odors, and Hollister makes a nice array of convenient and easy to use deodorizers available as well. These include some that actually offer lubrication to the interior of the pouches and make them much easier to empty and clean. There are also spray on versions that come as scented and unscented varieties and which are applied before any of the barriers are used. These all diminish problem odors and are safe to use for the long term, or on a permanent basis.
