About Us - an introduction
A Koolostomy Pouch Cover is a product that will
assist the ostomate with eliminating moisture and
heat
associated with wearing an ostomy appliance. The Koolostomy
Pouch Cover slips over the existing collection bag
(pouch). This product will "wick" moisture
away from your skin, making the appliance comfortable
to wear. Koolostomy Pouch Covers can be worn with
most pouches, regardless of the manufacturer.
I
am an ostomate with a permanent colostomy. It was
discovered in the early part of 2001 that I had a
large
mass in the pre-sacral space (lower part of the pelvic
area). Prior to surgery my doctor informed me
about colostomies. It wasn't until after surgery that
I learned I would have to deal with wearing an ostomy
appliance for the rest of my life. Since I have always
had a positive outlook on life, I took the news in
stride and accepted the day-to-day living with the
situation. As most ostomates, I experimented with
several products from various manufacturers. My only
problem was the heat the pouch caused
against my body.
Since
I had done sewing and mending over the years, I endeavored
to find a comfortable material to cover the pouch.
I purchased several different types of materials and
finally came upon a lightweight fabric that suited
my need. Then the idea of a decorative pouch cover
came to mind. If we must wear this contraption, why
not make it look and feel good. The Koolostomy Pouch
Cover does both! I solved the "heat" problem,
but also I now wear covers that make me feel good
about myself.
All
Koolostomy Pouch Covers are machine washable. The
covers are available in Variety,
Sport, Customs and Holiday themes. They come in
children and adult sizes. For special orders not listed
in the catalog,
