This topic is all about reviewing and discussing the performance of Salts Stoma Seals, Barrier Rings, and Bags. The original reviewer revisited a previous test and added a couple of new products to the mix, ultimately highlighting the Salts Seal as the standout performer. Here are some key points and insights shared by the community:
- The Salts Seal is noted for being gentle on the skin around the stoma.
- Unfortunately, it's not available in the U.S. but can be found in the U.K., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and other countries where Salts products are distributed.
- The reviewer is also trying out a Salts one-piece convex drainable bag, which comes with interchangeable colored covers.
Additional Information:
- If you're interested in trying out samples, Salts Healthcare in New Zealand can send them directly upon request, without needing approval from a nurse.
Advice and Insights:
1. Barrier Rings & Seals:
- Many users highly recommend Salts barrier rings, especially the Aloe-infused versions, which are praised for healing skin issues and providing a strong seal.
- Salts Aloe Vera Secuplast Hydrostrips are another option for extra skin protection.
- For those who aren't fans of most moldable rings, Welland’s Hydra Seal with Manuka Honey is noted for its healing properties, though some users have experienced candida flare-ups due to the honey.
2. Pouches/Bags:
- The Salts “Confidence B” range, which is a one-piece and very flexible option, is appreciated for its comfort, especially for those with an active lifestyle. It comes in black, white, and beige, with black being the most popular.
- The black Salts bags are particularly favored for their appearance, and those outside the distribution area are encouraged to ask insurers or suppliers to import them.
3. Company & Support:
- Salts Healthcare is praised for its research and development culture, with staff being responsive and helpful.
- Users in countries where Salts products aren't available, like the U.S., are encouraged to advocate with insurers or distributors to gain access, given the large potential market.
These insights and advice come from a community of users who have shared their experiences with these products, providing valuable feedback for others considering them.
