DT13 Bags Discontinued: What Are Good Alternatives?

The topic is about finding alternatives for the DT13 one-piece ostomy bags, which have been discontinued by Salts Healthcare. The person who started the discussion is feeling anxious about having to switch products, as they found the DT13 bags to be perfect despite their appearance. They are specifically looking for recommendations for one-piece bags, as they do not want to switch to a two-piece system. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Reach out to Salts Healthcare:
- You can call or email the company to find out which current one-piece product might replace the DT13.
- If you are in Scotland, you can request a home visit from a Salts stoma nurse by calling their main number and leaving a message to arrange an appointment.

2. Try free samples before making a decision:
- While you still have some DT13 bags left, contact several manufacturers to request samples. They will need details like your stoma size.
- For Hollister UK, you can call their sample line at Freephone 0800 521 377.

3. Consider these one-piece alternatives recommended by others:
- Hollister one-piece pouches.
- ConvaTec one-piece pouches.
- Coloplast one-piece systems, which have been successfully used by a member for 15 years.

4. Remember, while switching products can be inconvenient, there are reliable alternatives available. You might even find a bag that works as well as, or better than, the DT13.
