Living With A Stoma Doesn’t Have to Cost A Fortune

May 1, 2013 - PRLog -- LONDON, England - May, 2013. It has recently been estimated that the NHS spends in excess of £200 million on stoma care accessories each year and this is a hot topic of debate. Many GPs are arguing that these accessories are just an additional and optional expense, but how can you put a price on comfort? With all the advances in modern medicine and healthcare, you would not think that patients would be left in pain, yet healthcare professionals are deeming some accessories designed to ease discomfort as non-essential. With budgets stretched and 21,000 new stomas forming every year, this is an understandable approach, but what if there was an economical way to tackle the problem? Launching value for money accessories which aim to please both healthcare professionals and patients, CliniMed may well have the solution.

It is a well known fact that, when wearing a stoma bag, the skin around the area often becomes sore. Frequent pouch changes and escaped fluids weaken the integrity of the skin and regular moisturisers are just not effective enough. There is nothing worse than sore skin as it is not only painful and uncomfortable but it can be difficult to cure, especially when it's rubbed daily by clothing. This is exactly why barrier creams are essential, not just pleasantries, as they form a barrier on the skin, preventing it from becoming sore in the first instance. CliniMed's aim is to make the life of stoma patients easier but without breaking the bank, and products like their LBF Sterile No Sting Barrier Wipes are great value for money. Individually packaged, these wipes can be used as and when needed so no product is wasted and there is no commitment to buying larger amounts.

For skin that is too sore to touch, CliniMed's LBF No Sting Barrier Film Spray is the ideal solution. Patients can spray this directly onto the sensitive area so they don't have to touch it, preventing the skin from becoming irritated any further. The long lasting effect of this spray means that patients are kept comfortable for longer and that the spray lasts longer too. Reducing the application times makes life easier for patients and means you get more spray for your money - it is the perfect compromise for patients and GPs.

There are a lot of different stoma accessories on the market but so that patients can decide which ones are best for them, CliniMed also offers free samples. Whether it's barrier creams, deodorant sprays or even bags, CliniMed wants to help stoma patients discover what suits them best before committing themselves to a particular range. This is an economical way to help ease the financial burden on the health services and to deliver exceptional customer service.

In the economy that we live in today, we cannot always afford the little luxuries but how can we scrimp when it comes to health? Providing the best of both worlds, CliniMed and their revolutionary products make living with a stoma both easier and more affordable. Wanting to bring patients and professionals closer together, CliniMed is an economic solution to an inescapable problem.
