Cymed Ostomy Supplies - Availability Issues?

The topic at hand is about the current shortage of Cymed ostomy supplies and where you might still be able to find them. If you're having trouble getting your hands on Cymed products, here are some helpful tips and insights:

1. Check with major distributors:
- Edgepark Surgical: You can reach them at 1-800-321-0591. They have a large inventory across various brands and can offer free samples from other manufacturers if Cymed is unavailable.
- COS Medical Supply, Inc. (continentostomystore.com): They reportedly have the best remaining stock of Cymed MicroSkin barriers and also carry Hollister New Image and irrigation supplies.
- Express Medical (exmed.net): They are usually reliable with competitive pricing, but currently, they are only receiving small, sporadic shipments of Cymed products.

2. Contact Cymed directly: Some callers have been able to purchase an emergency box directly from them. Be persistent, as customer service responses can vary. Cymed has recently changed ownership, temporarily ran out of raw materials, deleted all back-orders, and is focusing on rebuilding their inventory. Recovery times are estimated to be between 6–8 weeks to 2–3 months, though some users suggest planning for a longer wait.

3. Consider interim strategies:
- Try out other brands like Hollister while waiting for Cymed supplies to stabilize. Distributors such as Edgepark can provide samples.
- Use any remaining Cymed pouches sparingly until the supply situation improves.
