Coloplast Ostomy Supplies

Have you just been discharged from the hospital after your colostomy surgery?  Perhaps you've had your ostomy for 15 years.  Either way, it's never too late to find out what new innovations have been made in the ostomy industry.  Although the basic concept of a skin barrier and pouch remains the same, there are slight but important improvements to the ostomy accessories and aspects of the appliance that improve the quality of life for someone with a colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy.
Just in 2012, Coloplast has made great strides to improve the pouch offerings to people with colostomies and to the complete field of ostomy accessories.  Coloplast has introduced their SenSura Mio colostomy pouch and the Brava ostomy accessory line.

Brava Lubricating Deodorant Stock# 12061

Coloplast recently bombarded the ostomy market with a bevy of ostomy accessories to revive its offering to its ostomates around the world.  The product line is called Brava™ and Coloplast uses it to target two hurdles for people who have had ostomy surgery resulting in an ileostomy, colostomy or urostomy.  Their products are designed to "reduce leakage" or to "care for your skin" and have received some excellent reviews from early users!  
Their latest introduction is the Brava Lubricating Deodorant 12061 which is much like Hollister's Adapt Lubricating Deodorant 78500.  Little information has been released for this product and we were surprised to even obtain a photo of the product.  It hasn't even been added to Coloplast's website for Brava ostomy products .
You can purchase the Brava 12061 at Parthenon online or by calling 1-800-453-8898!
