Hi everyone - People have posted questions about the Vitala continence device by Convatec and issues relating to discharge of waste in public places. Here are some websites with the info (I have used the liners myself and they are GREAT!). The Vitala will be available later in the Fall; Convatec is taking advance orders now.

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

Hi Pinky

Thanks for posting this info. You said you have used the liners before, is this with an ileostomy? How easy is it to use? I looked at the website which shows basically how is works but how do you use it in practice? I assume the advantage is that you just flush the liners?

I have a ileo myself (from Crohns).

Thanks very much.

The Vitala is STILL not out.  I don't know what the problem is - I'll ask the WOCN next week at the support group meeting if she knows.

The Colomajic liners are easy to use with a two-piece colostomy system...I can't say how they would be with an ileostomy since you have more frequent output.  I used the liners with a closed end bag - do you have those for ileostomies?  That is how I think the liners are most useful.

They will send you a small sample pack to try out.
