Ostomy Belts ... An Essential Ostomy Accessory

Ostomy belts are used by some ostomates.  For whatever reason some people with ostomies decide not to wear an ostomy belt.  The choice isn't quite clear because they provide added support to the body, help keep the ostomy appliance properly attached, and some every control or reduce herniation around the stoma.  There are a variety of ostomy belts:

The belts above are all unique offering varying features. Some simply attach to the ostomy pouch with a basic hook attachment while others have a panel that conforms and supports the stoma and peristomal area as well as the ostomy appliance.

Ostomy Supplies in California

Do you have an ostomy?  If so, then you likely have a few companies memorized that sell the ostomy pouches, skin barriers and any other ostomy accessory that you need.  But have you ever wanted to wondered if there are any alternatives to the big corporate ostomy manufacturers such as Coloplast, ConvaTec and Hollister?  YES.  If you live in California there happens to be two companies in fact, Nu-Hope Laboratories as well as Cymed.  Both are smaller companies, but with uncompromising quality and committment to the ostomate.
Nu-Hope Labs was started in 1959 and is based in Pacoima, California.  The company makes all kinds of "standard sized" ostomy pouches, but also specializes in custom sized ostomy pouches as well as ostomy support belts.  The team there is completely dedicated to producing the highest quality ostomy products.  
Cymed does not make support belts, but they make a full line of ostomy supplies.  Best known for their
MicroSkin® material that is used in all Cymed pouching systems. It is a transparent, hypoallergenic polyurethane film. MicroSkin® offers a level of comfort and security unlike most products on the market.  MicroSkin® material is very durable, strong, waterproof, breathable, and thin!  Cymed is based out of Berkley, California.
Both companies have distribution networks all over the country so that anyone can purchase their items.  Parthenon sells products from both companies and ships direct to the customer.  Parthenon's prices are unmatched with their LOWEST PRICE GUARANTEE .

Ultimate Buyers Guide to Ostomy Pouch Support Belts

Ever wonder what other products are out there, but don't know where to look? Outside of your WOC (wound,ostomy, continence) nurse, Parthenon is your next best resource for new and established products.
One item that many seem to ask about is ostomy support belts. Without getting too specific, this includes the belts made by Hollister, ConvaTec, and Coloplast which hook onto the pouches to provided added support for the pouch. Also, this includes belts that provide added support both for the pouch and peristomal area such as those made by Nu-Hope Laboratories, Celebration and Phoenix ostomy belts.
The Hollister belt, ConvaTec belt, and Coloplast belt all provide similar benefits and should probably be best matched up with whatever brand appliance you are using. The other belts mentioned above do not matter what brand you use.
The Celebration is available in sizes from small to XXX-large and features 2-3/4" or 2-3/8" hole openings.
The Phoenix ostomy system comes in sizes from small to XX-large and neatly tucks your pouch away for concealment.
