Ostoform's Mission to Improve Quality of Life for Ostomy Pouch Users
How? By developing an innovative Ostomy Seal. How is it Innovative? The Ostoform Seal has a patent protected non-absorbent “FLOWASSIST” spout which effectively directs stoma output away from the skin and into the ostomy appliance.
The Result: The user’s skin is better protected. The Ostoform Seal protects the Hydrocolloid ensuring a longer appliance wear time and a reduced number of pouch changes, helping the user to feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin. By ensuring longer wear time and decreasing the outcome of skin complications, the Ostoform Seal will reduce the cost of patient care in hospitals.
Ostoform Expands Distribution Partnerships Across the USA
Ostoform has expanded its distribution network considerably with the addition of six new partners across the USA. The expansion follows the official commercialization of the Ostoform Seal with FLOWASSIST Protection and an approved HCPCS code (A4385) in 2021.
Since its launch, Ostoform’s patented FLOWASSIST technology has been dubbed a ‘game changer’ by global healthcare professionals and Ostomates alike.
The innovative Seal has been evaluated in three clinical studies, with results published in prestigious peer-reviewed journals, and with each study demonstrating a clear trend towards improved skin condition. Longer wear-time has also been demonstrated in one clinical study, with 71% of participants claiming the Ostoform Seal lasted longer than their standard seal.
With a larger network, Ostoform can now make the Ostoform Seal more widely available to those who need it the most. The Ostoform Seal can be ordered through the following distribution partners:
