Ostomy Supplies
The word Ostomy signifies a type of surgery required when a person
had lost the normal function of bladder or bowel due to birth defects,
disease, injury or other disorders. Such operations include colostomy,
ileostomy and urostomy. The surgery allows for normal bodily wastes to
be expelled through a new surgical opening (stoma) on the abdominal wall.
Most persons with an Ostomy must wear an appliance to cover the stoma.
To support these individuals
within our community, the Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre is the only
provider for a wide variety of skin and ostomy products.
The Bermuda Cancer and Health
Centre are affiliated with The Bermuda Ostomy Association. This is a volunteer-based
health organization dedicated to providing education, information, support
and advocacy for those persons living with or who will have intestinal
or urinary diversions, their families and/or caregivers.
Please call for a listing of
products available and if we do not have what you need, we can order this
for you.
