StomaGear - StomaShield Stoma Guard

Life with an Ostomy Blog

We continue to re-invest into this company.  Not only in our products and manufacturing, but in our website too!  I've made the online checkout more secure by upgrading to the latest PCI compliant shopping cart, made the store section of the website secure and encrypted  (as you will see with "https" designation), and a more seamless experience when completing your order. I believe I have all the issues ironed out, but if you catch something odd, please let me know and I will address it right away.  Thank you so much for all your support!

I'm curious, not for the benefit of my company, but for the well being of ostomates everywhere: why isn't stoma protection recommended for everyone by the medical community?  It puzzles me that we are left with this stoma unprotected, which is to a degree "sensitive", compared to the rest of our body.   While other surgeries get casts, crutches, wheelchairs to allow the wound to heal, I suppose the medical community treats our stoma as "healed"?  I think this is why insurance coverage for stoma protective devices is non existent to date.  So those of us with a stoma (ileostomy, colostomy, or urostomy) are left in a conundrum, and looking for answers: How to protect our stoma?  

What do you think?  Let me know in the poll below.
