Advice on Best Pouch

[Markiv]

HiI am new to this forum. Firstly I am blown away with the support and strength in this group !

My brother in law is going to have a illeostomy on Sept 3rd in India. He has learning diabilities and is not very good with manipulating his hands/fingers. I want to send him some pouches from here (US) which are easy to use.

Do you have any advice for me ?

Hi Markiv
There is another American based forum for people with a range of stomas for a broad range of reasons. Some of them have severe disabilities and mobility limitations. It might be a great place for you to pose your question as some of them may have the answers you seek. Good luck in your quest and sorry I can't help at all.

How lovely of you to want to help! I do wonder what type of supplies he is going to get over there. It would be a good idea to find out, then get samples sent to him from those suppliers. Many of the suppliers ARE worldwide so it shouldnt be an issue I would hope.

Try:
Coloplast
Convetec
Salts
Hollister

I use Coloplast Sensura Flex system, and I would recommend this two piece system. Its easy to change the bag because it peels off. Simple.

Good luck!!
