Ostomy patients have a lot of things to worry about when it comes to their care and maintaining health. One thing they shouldn't have to worry about is developing skin irritations around the stoma or fistula. When there is not a proper barrier between the ostomy device and the patient's skin then a rash or sore can develop and create a very uncomfortable situation for a patient.
Eakin has created the perfect solution to this problem. Their Cohesive Seals are moldable rings that adhere to the skin and create a perfect barrier. This barrier keeps the devices from being directly in contact with the skin directly adjacent to the stoma as well as providing a waterproof barrier over the skin that is most likely to become irritated. Eakin Cohesive Seals are pectin-based, which is a natural product created from the cell walls of plants. The seals absorb moisture quickly and effective. And the best part is that there is no cutting involved. The seals are able to be stretch and molded to fit almost any ostomy device on the market today. In fact you can replace most any other ring or paste when you get these seals. Labels: ostomy by: DME Supply Group 0 Comments

As the seasons begin to change and cooler air moves in for the winter I always find that my skin takes a real beating. I never really understood why winter was so hard on my skin until my dermatologist explained it to me. Apparently in the winter the air is dryer. In the summer months humidity seems to be high and that helps hold the moisture in our skin. But when the humidity leaves and the air is dry, the moisture escapes.
As a college student I couldn't afford to always have expensive lotions and skin products stocked up in my dorm room. I went searching online for a high quality, reasonably priced product. I knew one just had to exist. And I found Sween 24 Moisturizing Skin Protectant Cream. And let me tell you, this stuff is magical. I apply the cream once a day, in the morning, and I don't have to worry about it again. It's the first product I've used that says "all day" and it really means it. The cream is fragrance-free and therefore I can still wear my perfume and not over-power everyone with my scent. I would swear by this product and I recommend it to all of my friends. The best part of all is that it works really fast, even on the driest parts of my skin. My hands and elbows used to always get flaky in the winter...but not any more. Sween 24 Moisturizing Skin Protectant Cream really is the best in the business. Labels: lotion, skin care, skin creams by: DME Supply Group 0 Comments |
