ACE Stopper

Medicina

Description

Medicina ACE Stoppers are small silicone plugs that are used to seal stoma sites at various parts of the body. They are soft and comfortable for a patient and come in a variety of lengths and shaft diameters depending on the size of the stoma. They perform three functions. Firstly, they form a seal in-between insertion of the catheter if the stoma is leaking. They also maintain the patency of the stoma if catheter insertion is difficult. They can also be used for any stoma of suitable size anywhere in the body. ACE Stoppers should be replaced after a maximum of 30 days. One ACElok dressing is included for placement over the ACE stopper to provide external fixation and cushioning. ACElok dressings are changed every 3-4 days or when they become soiled. Available on prescription
