Peristomal Skin Wipe Unlike The Rest

Most people with an Colostomy, Ileostomy or Urostomy use some sort of skin protective wipe on their peristomal skin, that is the skin around the stoma. There are several brands out there with the popular ones being Smith & Nephew's Skin Prep Wipes, ConvaTec's Allkare Wipes, or Coloplast's Protective Skin Barrier Wipes.

There are a few new skin wipes on the market that have some new added benefits!

• Safe n' Simple Ostomy STOMA WIPES are 5.5" x 7.5" in dimension providing a lot of cloth to use on the skin. Packaged in a resealable pouch designed for travel use and the wipes are flushable.



• StomaCare Wipes are individually packaged. Each wipe is individually soaked in aloe for extra care for healing and treating irritated skin. Wipes are not greasy and like many of the others are easily fitted into a pocket or purse. Unlike the rest though, is the addition of aloe, something that sets this product apart from the rest.

DEVROM on American Cancer Society Webpage

Flatulence remedy, Devrom used to neutralize embarassing odor from stool and flatulence, is mentioned on the American Cancer Society's page. FDA approved to effectively treat malodor from flatulence, Devrom's active ingredient is (200 mg) bismuth subgallate.
It's a common complaint among those with an ostomy. How do I deal with the odor? For some it's more of an issue than others. Regardless, for over 45 years people have complained to us about an effective odor remedy for their ostomy. There are several options and every 5 to 10 years a new product springs up, but nothing like Devrom internal deodorant tablets. Folks have the option to use an "external deodorant" which goes into the ostomy pouch for an ileostomy or colostomy. There are liquids such as Hollister's M9, Coloplast's OAD, Montreal's Stop-Plus (all liquids) as well as Parthenon's DevKo (tablets for the ostomy pouch).
Whatever product you use or if you don't need to use one, this is an imporant aspect of having an ostomy.
