Living with an ostomy

header

You can’t be expected to know the answer to all your patient's questions about diet or travel but you do need to know how to find the information for them, or point them in the direction to get advice specific to them.

As well as materials provided by their WOC Nurse, patients can also call our dedicated line 877 858 2656 to talk to one of our trained Coloplast® Care advisors.

Alternatively, the Coloplast website has a range of helpful information on overcoming issues and managing your patient's ostomy - https://www.coloplast.us/ostomy/people-with-an-ostomy/

Supplies

Running out of ostomy pouches is often a huge worry and concern for people living with an ostomy. Common concerns revolve around getting the correct supplies, how long it takes to get supplies, who to contact for supplies and how to get a prescription. Coloplast consumer sales can provide free samples of many products and connect patients with one of Coloplast's many suppliers that best meets their service and insurance needs.
