Most company's offer one piece products. I'm not familiar with the one you have mentioned, but I would try Hollister's or Convatec, both great companies with reliable products. Good Luck, I've had to find new products before and it really sucks because you are so comfortable with the old. Remember change is good sometimes! LOL

You could always try phoning or emailing Salts in your country and asking what the alternative for it is. This is happening with a lot of products from companies when they are not asked for so much. Good luck and they should be able to help you.

Hi David, suggest while you are running your supply down, you get in touch with all of them and ask for samples - better to call as the advisors are usually very good, will want to know stoma size etc.... I've been calling Hollister UK recently for samples and they are great, give them a go

Good luck

Hi,

I just looked at your profile and saw your from Scotland. Salts have home visiting stoma nurses. If you ring salts on their usual number ask to leave a message for the stoma nurse she will contact you and arrange a suitable time to visit you at home. Salts have other one piece systems that may suit you. I have used coloplast for about 15 years with no problems but we all have our personal choice. Best of luck
