Adapt by Hollister: Reliable Ostomy Supplies
An ostomy is an opening in the abdomen, called a stoma, that is surgically created to eliminate body waste when a person is unable to do this via normal routes – anus and urethra. The waste is deposited in a collection bag that is attached to the stoma. An ostomy can be a temporary solution or a permanent one, and there are several conditions where an ostomy may be necessary including Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) such as Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, colon or bladder cancer, diverticulitis, birth defects or injury. Ostomy types include colostomy for the large intestine, ileostomy for the small intestine and urostomy which reroutes urine into a pouch.
Hollister Products from Honest Medical
Hollister, Inc. manufactures a wide range of healthcare products including ostomy supplies, such as Adapt flexible barrier rings. The Adapt ring, which attaches the collection bag to the stoma, is infused with ceramide, a natural skin lipid that offers unmatched protection against moisture, while preventing odor and leaks. Hollister also offers ostomy pouching systems, barrier creams, deodorants, adhesive removers and all the vital supplies you need to securely manage your ostomy, whether it is a temporary or permanent solution. The following is information on Honest Medical’s line of Hollister Ostomy Supplies:
Adapt Barrier Rings: Hollister’s unique Adapt CeraRing barrier rings are flat flexible rings that prevent ostomy drainage from escaping while protecting sensitive skin. Here are some of its advantages:
- Provide better protection against leakage by filling in any contours in the skin around the stoma.
- Infused with Ceramides: Ceramides are natural lipids that help retain moisture while protecting against irritants and bacteria, which is especially important for senior ostomy patients.
- Deliver a flexible fit — Adapt barrier rings can be cut, stacked, or stretched for a perfect fit.
- Offer an alternative to barrier paste, eliminating mess.
- Are easy to use by removing the protective backing and applying directly to the adhesive barrier.
- Are pliable and moldable to fit any stoma size or location.
Pouching Supplies: This includes single-piece systems where the pouch and barrier are connected and two-piece systems with separate pouches and skin barriers. Hollister pouching systems offer discreet, secure protection that allows users to pursue daily activities without worrying about leaks or odor. Options include drainable pouches for ileostomy/colostomy users, closed-end pouches for colostomy/urostomy users, and pouchkins for pediatric ostomy patients.
Ostomy Accessories: Hollister ostomy accessories include barrier paste, strips and powder that help create a secure moisture-proof seal. Ostomy lubricating deodorant prevents odors and moisturizes skin, while stoma powder soothes irritated skin around the stoma. Accessories also include Adapt gentle adhesive remover, ostomy belts for added security, and pouch clamps to secure drainable pouches.
