Good news for ileostomists! 10 July 2008

Some changes have been made to Morform sachets following feedback we have recieved from customers. The sachet is now slightly shorter in length, but feels more solid. This is because the super absorbent powder has been more tightly packed into the sachet to give Morform rigidity, making it easier to insert into a pouch. The high quality of the materials used to make Morform is still the same, and the effectiveness of Morform and the sachet break down time have not been compromised. If you'd like any information or samples, or you have any comments about the changes to Morform, please call the Careline on 0800 585125.

Removing your pouch doesn't need to hurt! 27 June 2008

If you have trouble removing your pouch sometimes or you are using an adhesive remover with an alcohol base that stings, a silicone-based adhesive remover like Appeel could be just what you need. It comes in an aerosol spray to make pouch removal quick and easy, or moist wipes to remove any remaining adhesive residue. Both have a 'no sting' formula which contains moisturisers to care for your skin. Appeel dries in seconds and will not affect the adhesion of your next pouch! For more information and samples, call the Careline on 0800 585 125.

Joint Nurses Conference 25 June 2008

Every year SecuriCare holds a clinical conference for the company’s stoma care nurses. Joining the SecuriCare team for the first time were their CliniMed nursing colleagues and a group of NHS stoma care nurses. These clinical conferences make a significant contribution to continuing professional development, helping nurses keep up to date with research and trends. On the social side, the nurses shared a barbecue after the day’s events, and the evening was rounded off with some very enthusiastic and energetic barn dancing. Very good for the cardiovascular systems of all the delegates!
