Below are answers to common questions:
Our products address (3) main areas of concern for ostomy patients.
a. Output while Stoma is exposed
(mess & skin irritation): People with Ileostomy realize significant advantages from capturing uncontrollable and caustic output prior to skin contact, while people with a Urostomy enjoy the benefits of changing without messy drippage or significant bursts of urine. People with a Colostomy, who cannot
control their output, or have digestive issues (e.g. diarrhea) also benefit from using the cartridge.
b. Baseplate Alignment Issues: Anyone with an ostomy who uses a
two-piece pouching system and has difficulty applying the baseplate precisely over their stoma, will benefit significantly from using the capture cartridge.
c. Baseplate Adhesion Issues: Anyone with an ostomy who uses a two-piece pouching system and has difficulty with self-application, baseplate adhesion, or frequent leakage issues, will benefit greatly from using the SecurPress® to apply evenly distributed pressure to the baseplate.
StomaGenie Capture Cartridges® are covered by most insurance plans and Medicare reimbursable under HCPCS Code A5081 covering up to 31 cartridges per month.
