Ostomy procedures require patients to wear pouches (either reusable or disposable) on a daily basis. Some people must wear them all the time, while others can attach them at certain times to empty the body of waste matter on their own schedule. Whichever is your process, we have a plethora of supplies to choose from at SGV Medical Supplies.

In addition to the standard pouches, wafers, and other ostomy supplies, there are also plenty of accessories that can be very helpful to ostomates. These products can help extend the life of your bags as well as boost your confidence level with increased comfort during wear. Face it, the less you have to worry about changing your appliances, the more money you will save and the more time you will have to devote to other, more important things.

Accessories that can give you more wear and life out of your ostomy supplies includes belts, skin preps, deodorizers, and skin adhesive removers. Special belts for ostomates are used with bags to help you feel more secure and hold bags flat against the skin for discreet wear. Pouch covers do the same, while adding a layer of sweat and odor protection at the same time.

Skin preps and skin adhesives help to prevent irritation and uncomfortable skin rashes in the area around your stoma. This leaves you free to change the pouches as needed without fear of infection or discomfort. At SGV Medical Supplies, we pride ourselves on offering a large selection of all these accessories and many more.
