I have a friend that has a bag for her urine She has a urostomy. She was telling me a story about how her cat likes to sit on her lap, and if the cat’s nails don’t get trimmed quite regularly her cat will pop the bag, so she went through three bags in one day because of that. I was telling her that I recently found some great deals on eBay, because she was saying that her insurance doesn’t cover enough product for her to last the month, especially during those times when the cat gets to the bags. I know some people said they have experienced price gouging there but I’ve had good luck so far. I did notice that we got a good deal today on Bags for her as I helped her because she doesn’t usually use that service. But it did say that the flange will expire soon…and we talked about it and we figured that maybe it wouldn’t be a problem Because I think it said it expires in March of this year and so sometimes things are still good soon after the expiration date for a few months. I’m wondering what exactly does it mean that it expires? Does that mean the seal, where it clips onto the base is not gonna work well? I assume that’s the part that is mentioned in the listing-the flange? Can somebody help me out and explain it to me? Thanks in advance for any help.
