Nurse Stories

Tom (British Columbia):

I have an older lady patient who is quite active despite having a colostomy. She had been using a different brand for months, but it left her feeling discouraged. Her stoma is small, and with a bit of peristomal hernia above pushing the stoma downward, she also has thin, soft skin. The previous brand, with its rigid convex flange, just wasn’t providing the reliability she needed. She was constantly worried about leaks and experienced frequent skin irritation, which made her feel uncomfortable and frustrated.

But then she switched to the Salt Soft Convex One-Piece. What a difference! Not only did she experience significantly better wear time, but it also became much more comfortable. The flexible design of the Salt Soft Convex provided a secure fit, and she no longer had to worry about leaks. Most importantly, it’s been incredibly gentle to her skin. Since making the switch, she’s so much happier and more confident. Now, she won’t use anything else. Salt Soft Convex has truly been a game-changer for her.

Sukaina (Greater Toronto Area):

Patients have found the product soft and very conformable. Removing it was easy, and it was super comfortable in the shower. One person stated they felt as if they had nothing on while they were in a convex one.

Stephanie (Greater Toronto Area):

I am happy to say that I have a teenager who was allergic to every other brand of ostomy pouch available in Canada at the time.

Roxie (Southern Ontario):

1. A client with an ileostomy in an abdominal fold loves the Salts the confidence natural soft convex 1 piece. It is precut and was extremely comfortable for her.

2. Client’s remark that they love the scent of the Salt’s adhesive remover spray and how well it works in removing the appliance.

3. One client loved the Salts Aloe rings, they made her skin feel good and they worked well at providing extra security with adhesion.

4. Several clients like how well the Salts Mouldable Seals adhere to the skin and keeping the skin healthy under the flange.

5. A pediatric patient’s mother loved the size and comfort of the Confidence Comfort Neonatal. Pediatric with flexifit. The pouching system was the perfect size for the baby’s body.

6. The Salts No-Roma worked well using less product than other brands available.

7. Several clients state that the Salts skin lotion dries quickly on the skin and soothes the irritation and itching of the skin under the flange.
