Peristomal Skin Wipe Unlike The Rest

Most people with an Colostomy, Ileostomy or Urostomy use some sort of skin protective wipe on their peristomal skin, that is the skin around the stoma. There are several brands out there with the popular ones being Smith & Nephew's Skin Prep Wipes, ConvaTec's Allkare Wipes, or Coloplast's Protective Skin Barrier Wipes.

There are a few new skin wipes on the market that have some new added benefits!

• Safe n' Simple Ostomy STOMA WIPES are 5.5" x 7.5" in dimension providing a lot of cloth to use on the skin. Packaged in a resealable pouch designed for travel use and the wipes are flushable.



• StomaCare Wipes are individually packaged. Each wipe is individually soaked in aloe for extra care for healing and treating irritated skin. Wipes are not greasy and like many of the others are easily fitted into a pocket or purse. Unlike the rest though, is the addition of aloe, something that sets this product apart from the rest.

Calling All People With Ileostomies!

We all have diarrhea at some point in time, but for those of us who have an ileostomy and always have loose or liquid stool output it can be even more of a challenge. If the fit of the ostomy appliance is not the best, there can be leakage which, over time, can lead to problems with skin irritation. Also, sleeping presents some challenges as well. The pouch contents can be difficult to manage when they are all liquid. The liquid can slosh around and contact the peristomal area causing irritation.
To help with this problem, Parthenon introduced ParSorb absorbent gel packets about ten years ago! Also available in the loose form form users to scoop out as much or as little as they prefer. Simply drop a packet into the ostomy appliance and watch the film dissolve on contact with the stool ouput. The crystals are released from the packet and absorb everything turning to a gel making for easy management. This ensures no sloshing and no skin contact!
