Desperate for DIY Urostomy Bag Fix!

This topic is about a new urostomy patient who is facing a delay in receiving their ordered supplies, leaving them with only a leaking pouch. They are seeking advice on how to create a temporary solution or find emergency supplies. Here are some helpful suggestions:

1. Visit the nearest hospital emergency department or a wound/ostomy clinic. Hospitals typically have ostomy supplies in stock and can provide a few pouches or wafers to tide you over.

2. Get in touch with your ostomy nurse or any stoma/ET nurse. They can help you obtain temporary supplies and offer guidance on what to do next.

3. Contact manufacturers and distributors directly to request free samples. Many companies ship quickly. For instance, Dansac Invent offers free samples through their website at www.dansac.com.

4. Search online for "emergency ostomy supplies" or "ostomy supplies near me" to find medical supply stores and charities that might have pouches available for same-day pickup.

5. Reach out to local ostomy support groups. Members often have spare appliances and are usually willing to share with those in need.

6. Look for YouTube videos that demonstrate safe temporary fixes and makeshift pouching methods. These can be helpful while you wait for your proper equipment to arrive.
