Magnetic Stoma Bag & Ring - Availability and User Experience?

This topic is about exploring the idea of a "magnetic" stoma bag and ring system. The person who started the discussion is curious if such a product exists, whether it can be obtained through regular ostomy suppliers, or if it requires surgical implantation. They are also interested in knowing if others find it useful or if it poses any issues.

Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. No one in the discussion has seen or used any ostomy product that involves magnets. Everyone expressed unfamiliarity with such a system.

2. It's important to be cautious about unverified or aggressively marketed devices. People with ostomies can be particularly vulnerable to questionable claims from entrepreneurs.

3. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional, such as a surgeon or stoma nurse, before considering any new product, especially if it seems novel or requires implantation.

4. One person suggested reaching out to reliable medical supply vendors to check if the product is legitimate or available.
