This topic is about the Vitala Continence Control Device by ConvaTec and Colomajic Liners, which are products designed to help people with ostomies manage their stoma output more conveniently. The Vitala device allows users to temporarily block stoma output, making it easier to remove the pouch when it suits them. Meanwhile, Colomajic liners are disposable liners that can be used in a two-piece colostomy system to handle waste discreetly, especially in public settings.
Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by users:
1. The Vitala Continence Control Device has received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance, and ConvaTec is accepting advance orders. However, its release has been delayed, and users are advised to check with a WOCN nurse for updates.
2. Colomajic liners are praised for their effectiveness in managing waste discreetly in public. They work well with closed-end bags on a colostomy.
3. If you're interested in trying Colomajic liners, you can request a small sample pack from the company.
4. Although there was some uncertainty about their suitability for ileostomies, it has been confirmed that Colomajic liners can be used with ileostomies. It's a good idea to ask your medical supply dealer for samples or contact Colomajic directly.
5. For guidance on sourcing these products and learning the best techniques for using them, consulting a local Enterostomal Therapy (ET) or Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurse (WOCN) is recommended.
