Fuzzbutt’s Top Tips #5: Ostomy Product Costs
Hey Folks! Fuzzbutt here again. I’m Ostomyland’s furry mascot and every so often I like to share some of my top tips with everyone, and this time my tip is for people who do not get their products for free on a country-based health insurance scheme (like the NHS here in the UK), or any other private health insurance scheme.
Ostomy products are not cheap and its been a long time since spending a penny, actually cost a penny (…or less). Some products can be incredibly expensive, especially the latest or newly launched product ranges.
Clinimed Freestyle Vie Mailshot
Its been a while since we received any ostomy related mailshots through the Ostomyland Towers letter box, but one finally arrived this week in the form of a small square shaped mailing from Clinimed about their Freestyle Vie product range.
The product features include:
- Soft quick drying layer for comfortable wear time
- Improved Dula-Card filter to reduce odour and ballooning
- Contemporary flange print and cutting guide to ensure snug fit
- Advanced filter protection minimizes leakage and odour
Samples available for UK patients only (as CliniMed is a UK company) available via email at enquires@clinimed.co.uk or by phoning their freephone customer careline on 0800 036 0100.
Event Promoting Positive Body Image
Ostomy Lifestyle is organising a special underwear and swimwear show for people affected by stoma surgery.
The idea is to raise the profile of ostomy surgery and issues around body image, and also raise funds for Ostomy Lifestyle.
It’s being held at Cafe de Paris in London, and they say they have got loads of great designers involved.
Here’s the website for the event: http://www.ostomylifestyleparty.co.uk/ where you can see what it’s all about and buy tickets.
