Solutions for Nurses
To allow hospital nurses to focus on the cases that matter most, we have a dedicated nurse program that is delivered remotely and seamlessly. At the press of a button, the user is connected to a medical professional who will listen and then identify the best solution to their ostomy related health issue. This program is a major step forward in treating the on-going health needs of ostomates.
