This topic is about someone who has found a pouching system that works well for them and now wants to donate their leftover ostomy supplies to others who might need them. These supplies are available for free pick-up in Lexington, Kentucky, and the person is also willing to mail them within the United States if the recipient covers the postage costs. Here’s what they have available:
- 2 sample packs of Coloplast Brava Elastic Barrier Strips
- 1 unopened pack of 10 Sure Seal Rings sized for 45 mm floating flanges and 57–70 mm flanges
- 1 opened pack of Sure Seal Rings (same size) with 4 rings remaining
- 1 opened box of Hollister Adapt Barrier Rings (#7806), 4" (98 mm), containing 8 individually packaged rings
If you’re interested in these supplies, you can reply to arrange for pick-up or shipping.
Here are some helpful insights if you have extra supplies to donate:
1. Local hospital wound/ostomy nurses often accept unused ostomy products. They can distribute them to patients who might not have sufficient insurance coverage.
2. An ostomy support group in your area might have a supply-sharing program. They can help identify people in need, sometimes even before hospital staff are involved.
