Erler Zimmer ostomy bag trainer in detail
The ostomy bag trainer is a useful tool for learning the correct techniques for handling ostomy bags and developing good hand-eye coordination at the same time. You can practise on four different types of stoma: urostomy with stents, double-barrelled stoma, terminal stoma and flush stoma.
The trainer simulates faecal or urinary secretions at different sites such as contact dermatitis, normal healthy skin, flush placement with folds and candidiasis. The Ostomy Pouching Trainer helps patients, their families and healthcare professionals to prepare for this life-changing event and improve their quality of life.
Pre-operative instructions provide patients and their families with information about the stoma and reduce anxiety before surgery. The trainer's life-size model allows patients and carers to better understand how the stoma works and where it is located. Proper instruction enables patients to better understand their condition and make the necessary adjustments for a satisfactory quality of life with their new stoma.
