With an ostomy procedure, one of the most important factors to deal with is wound management. Because you now have an open stoma, or abdominal opening, it is vital that the area around it doesn't get infected. Especially right after surgery, the need for wound management is high. The skin around your stoma needs to stay healthy, which requires the proper use of a skin barrier and pouch appliance at all times to help prevent redness, rash, and swelling.

Even just a few decades ago, though, wound products were primitive at best. However, no longer are wound care products one-size-fits-all and run-of-the-mill. Different medical cases have called for a need to create technologically advanced wound dressings, tapes, gauze, and other wound management supplies.

At SGV Medical Supplies, we carry well over a hundred different types of brand name wound care products to help with ostomy wound management. We offer tapes and dressings from 3M, ConvaTec Aquacel and DuoDerm products, Kimberly-Clark and Johnson & Johnson dressings, and much more.
