Large oval wafer is extended to new products
Salts has added a new pouch to its Confidence Comfort Drainable range for ileostomists. Featuring an extra large oval wafer and a standard size pouch, the latest addition to the highly successful Confidence Comfort range cuts up to 110mm wide and 70mm deep and was designed specifically for those requiring extra security but for whom the larger pouch is too big.
As with all Salts’ pouches, the wafer of our new pouch is made from our skin-friendly hydrocolloid, research into which is supported by the British Skin Foundation. It also features single release, clear film with a thumb tab for easy removal and reduced
headroom to prevent the top folding over. It has a thick, silky soft covering with a softer weld along its edges and a gently rounded profile to the outlet. It is easy to drain and comfortable to wear with quieter inner layers that result in reduced rustle and increased confidence. The large oval wafer is ideal for curving over hernias around the stoma.
Confidence Comfort Drainable with a standard wafer is available in a wide range of sizes. The large size offers a choice of opaque or transparent covers. The standard size is available in opaque or transparent/overlap, whilst the smaller size is only available in opaque. The new standard oval pouch is available with a transparent/overlap as is the large pouch with an extra large oval wafer, introduced last year.
This new large oval wafer, originally introduced to the Confidence Comfort Drainable range last year, has proved so popular it has also now been added to the Confidence Gold Urostomy range. Again, the new wafer cuts up to 110mm wide and 70mm deep.
Confidence Gold Urostomy is a range of one-piece pouches which have a flat wafer and feature a soft, beige-coloured cover so they are discreet under most types of
clothing and give that extra bit of comfort when required. They also benefit from a proven non-allergenic, soft and flexible wafer suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
The pouch also has a positive action, wide bore open/close tap for easy draining and an integral drip cap, providing extra security. The tapered profile at the base of the pouch helps minimise pooling and its soft padding acts as a cushion between the skin and on/off tap.
Again, the large oval wafer on the Confidence Gold Urostomy pouch is ideal for use if you have a hernia, where the extra width of the hydrocolloid can give you extra security and boost confidence.
Senior Product Manager, Maria Clifton said: “Products featuring the new, large oval wafer – which is unique to Salts – are ideal for people with larger stomas but even people with small stomas have welcomed them because they provide an even greater feeling of security.”
