[QUAD-L] Ostomy

2006-09-07 Thread GHenry1



Hello,

I am looking for suggestions on Ostomy products.

After 40 years post SCI my posture is not the greatest and the
internal organs have probably rearranged a little and of course that old 
quad gut is a factor.

Instead of using a pouch does anyone drain into a legbag located on the 
lower leg?

What do you use a one or two piece appliance?

Do you wear a belt?

Do you have and problem with leaking?

Thanks,

Glenn

 Hi Glenn,  I recently started using a Foley Catheter and have used a Leg Bag for years to drain into. I also have the Big Quad Gut also and so I use a Leg Bag that holds 19 ounces which is connected with rubber tubing from the Bag to theOuter End of the Foley Catheter. That is my suggestion to try if you can. I also wear a Leg Strap to keep from the pulling on the Catheter.Chet ( Cquad7 )[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  Hello,I am looking for suggestions on Ostomy products.After 40 years post SCI my posture is not the greatest and the  internal organs have probably rearranged a little
