Learning Ostomy

Question:

Although I like Coloplast products and have only worn seven of them I’ve had three failures in the pouch and not the flange.  Two yielded holes just above the clip on the toe while the other one failed at the top above the stoma. Coloplast asssures me they have never had this happen before.  Sure!!! Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Thanks in advance and Boun Natale! Tino

Response:

I’m a big Coloplast fan and have never had any problems other than when my cat jumped off my lap and his back claw made a slight rip in the pouch…bad kitty! So far, I haven’t found anything easier or more comfortable to wear!  No clip….yeeeahh! Susan
