Jack,
I've been browsing on-line greater than three hours these days, yet I never
found any attention-grabbing articles like yours. It is lovely value enough
for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content
material as you did, the net can be much more helpful than ever before.

Good Sleep

Jack,

            Received the second belt that I ordered. It's a great product and deserves to be more widely known. I was having pouch seal failures in my sleep several times a week, which made me really unhappy, and that has not happened since using the support belt. It has given me back good sleep. You  may quote me on this if you wish.

The hole through which your pouch is pulled is surrounded by three "Button Holes" that fit the tabs of the "Stoma Shield". The Open Weave Elastic is sewn to the belt body.

The Stoma Shield is die cut from a strong plastic material and folded to fit into the "Button Holes" over the opening of the belt. When in place it will allow proper flow into your pouch while preventing irritation or trauma to your stoma from seat belts or work place or sports activities. The adjustable pocket below the body of the belt holds your pouch so that your pouch does not sway as you move, and holds the weight of the pouch as it fills. This prevents any pulling effect on your wafer and also prevents leaks. The combination of all of these features makes the Celebration® Ostomy Support Belt completely unique and superior to any other belt. To measure for the proper size belt take a measurement around your body at the level of the stoma, while lying on a flat surface.   Attention to all RN/WOCN should you like to receive free copies of our brochures  and a Celebration Ostomy Support Belt for demonstrations and product fairs please contact us by mail at Celebration Inc.
