Seeking Japanese ostomy sink in the U.S. - Any advice?

Topic Explanation:
The discussion revolves around a forum user in the U.S. seeking advice on how to acquire a Japanese ostomy sink/toilet. The user expresses a strong desire for a specific type of sink that is commonly found in Japan, which is designed for ostomates to empty and clean their ostomy bags more conveniently. The user is frustrated with the lack of availability of such sinks in the U.S. and is looking for advice on how to obtain one or create a similar setup.

Advice and Insights:
1. Contact a plumbing shop or custom bathroom place to see if they can order or replicate the sink.
2. Reach out to a plumber, possibly a member of the forum, for professional advice.
3. Consider using a handheld bidet sprayer as a temporary solution.
4. Take a picture of the desired sink to a plumbing shop or bathroom remodel place to see if they can source it.
5. Explore contacting hospital bathroom fixture vendors, as they might have similar products in their catalogs.
6. Use a browser translation add-on to communicate with Japanese manufacturers like M's, TOTO, and others.
7. Consider contacting international ostomy organizations for assistance in sourcing the sink.
8. Explore the possibility of using a wall-mounted toilet with additional plumbing modifications as an alternative.
9. Search for "flushing rim sink" online for potential options.
10. Consider using a low adjustable medical stool and a spray attachment for the bathroom sink as a temporary setup.
11. Engage with local plumbers to brainstorm and potentially create a custom solution.
12. Contact the Japan Ostomy Association for information on manufacturers and purchasing options.
