Anyone ever use SALT'S Dermacol stoma collar on a flush stoma? Does it help, or work to prevent leakage? Just received a huge box of nice samples from them and want to try all of it!!!!! Looks like an Eakin ring but with the sleeve on it?

Hi Sooziq, I use the Dermacol stoma collar and I think it is brilliant. Absolutely no leaks and really protects the skin around the stoma. You will love it.
MeetAnOstoMate is a remarkable community of 41,451 members.
“Every morning with my coffee, I read here and feel wrapped in warmth - I hardly post, but it still feels like family.”
“Our oncologist literally wrote down the link; they said more patients need this website.”
“This place pulled me out of the dark. I went from lurking to living again.”

Hi Hatlady and all,
I've had my ostomy for over 50 years, since I was a kid, and didn't think I really needed to be part of the ostomy site. But once active, I came to realize, that although I may not need help at the time, I was able to reach out and help others in need. Back in the day, before stoma therapists, I use to visit new patients in the hospital or homes ... While professionals are great, it is also good to be able to speak with people with personal experience. I was a free member for awhile, but after writing often, I was given free months. I then started paying, and decided to just take lifetime membership. After all, I was going to have my ostomy for the rest of my life. I'm one of those people who can disappear for a few months at a time, but I'm always glad that the site is here, I can return and reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. This is an excellent site ... Best regards to all ... and Best wishes for a Healthy and Happy New Year.

I haven't heard of this company, so I checked them out. Do they send out free samples to the US?

In addition to your pouching system, you may require the use of an ostomy accessory to enhance the performance of your system.

Winnie,
Yes, they do, but my package took 3 weeks to get FDA had to inspect it. Really nice supplies, and lots of ideas.
