OSTOMY AND HERNIA

Living with an ostomy has a great impact on a person’s everyday life. An ostomy challenges a person’s social life, body image and sense of self-esteem.

An abdominal surgery where the large abdominal muscle is cut may also increase the risk of getting a hernia resulting in much inconvenience: improper fit of ostomy appliances, risk of leakage, negative body image and appearance, discomfort, pain and sense of gravity etc. With or without surgery, this common condition requires special attention and support.

LIVE AS YOU LIKE

Furthermore, we make sure to design our Corsinel ostomy care products with the individual body anatomy in mind. Our ostomy underwear, tubes and belt products must fit to make a difference and be used. Therefore, Corsinel ostomy care products are made in a 4-way-stretch material that will always adapt to your specific body contour. This unique flexibility also ensures that Corsinel ostomy products support the stoma or hernia without obstructing stoma flow.

As we are well aware that the Corsinel ostomy and hernia products will often be worn all day long and possibly at night, the breathable products are designed with comfort in mind. We want our ostomy care products to be wearing aids, addressing and easing challenges in your daily life.

DIFFERENT NEEDS - DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUPPORT

As the need for support and compression varies from person to person, the Corsinel range is split into three levels of support: Light, Medium and Maximum. Read more about the levels below.

LIGHT SUPPORT

An ostomy belt will provide safe retention of all types of ostomy pouches, enabling the user to live an active life. The belt makes the user feel confident and secure, knowing that the pouch will stay in position all day. 

Our products are designed in soft microfiber to ensure highest possible comfort and the material is air and moisture permeable, so that it keeps the skin dry and allows the skin to breathe. The StomaSafe Classic ostomy belt is designed in an elasticated material that provides safe retention of the stoma pouch and it is especially suitable when only light pouch support is needed.

Light Support garments are designed for fixation and light support of stoma pouch only (no hernia management/prevention). These garments can be worn both day and night. They provide discretion by creating a smooth appearance and are very useful when carrying out daily activities. Our light support garments are soft and breathable and made by flexible material for optimum comfort.

4-way stretch

4-WAY
STRETCH

The textile will adapt to the body shape at all times ensuring that the product will provide the necessary compression needed for recovery, as well as the best possible comfort at all times during prolonged wear.

Targeted compression and fixation

TARGETED COMPRESSION
AND FIXATION

Targeted compression and fixation means that our products are designed to provide the necessary compression and fixation exactly where needed. By controlling compression on the scar tissue, the healing process advances faster and patient comfort is hightened. The compression zones are specially designed into each product based on indication.

Seamless knitting

SEAMLESS 
KNITTING

For optimum healing, the surgery site needs rest. That is why our products are designed to guarantee no seams in the wound or scar area and at any other critical sites of the applied area. This provides maximum skin friendliness and prevents pressure marks, as well as irritation of skin and tissue.

Fact-based sizing

FACT-BASED 
SIZING

When it comes to medical textiles and post-op garments, no size fits all. That is why we base all our sizes on three parametres; statistical body knowledge, comfort stretch measurements and extensive knowledge and experience with the combination of knitting methods in different materials. The combination of these 3 parameters defines our size defintion, ensuring perfect fit at all times.
