Barrier Wipes for Urostomy: Seeking Alternatives in Australia

My Ostomy Association of Melbourne no longer supplies Convarcare protective barrier wipes - no sting. I have an awful time deciphering the Medicare schedule to find a replacement. Can any Australians help me out here, please?

Under the schedule, they are item number: 37444; category: BAR; product: CC: BAR CONVACARE PROTECTIVE BARRIER WIPES. Pack size: 100.

As we live quite remotely, we do not have access to a stoma nurse to discuss this.

What other barrier wipes, no sting, are available on the schedule?

G-Day Mate,

I notice you're in Broken Hill. Why do you get your products from Melbourne? Doesn't New South Wales or South Australia have a contact you can use? Why not use Welland Barrier Wipes No Sting Part No WBF060, or the one I use is Welland No Sting Barrier Spray Part No WBS050? It is very good.

Let me know how you go.

Regards, IGGIE

We were in Vic when the CA was diagnosed, so it was done in Melbourne, and we signed up for Melbourne Ostomy Ass. It is just as easy to get from Melbourne as it is from Adelaide or Sydney. Sydney is over 1000 km away, so we don't really regard it as being accessible.

Thanks for the hint on which wipes to use.

Let me know how you go.
