Free Cut-to-Fit Service
Nobody knows better than the Salts Medilink Cutting Service the importance of having a well-fitted flange and appliance. A poor fit can lead to the contents of the pouch leaking onto the skin, which can mean soreness and discomfort.
Cutting your own pouches can become a real chore if you use a pouch or more a day, especially for people with arthritis or poor manual dexterity.
With Salts Medilink's free cut-to-fit service, the fuss of cutting your own pouches is taken away. No more sore fingers! The service, which is available to anyone, works in exactly the same way as placing an order. Send in your prescription with a template of your stoma. Your pouches are then cut and dispatched in the usual way. The templates are held on file so every time you reorder, your pouches can be cut without the need to measure again. If your stoma changes, simply cut another template to fit and return it with your next prescription; a new template is provided in every box with the cut pouches just in case. This replaces your old template in our files.
Donald MacLaren of Invernesshire had been cutting his own pouches since his ileostomy in 1993. While placing his order with Salts Medilink, he mentioned that he wasn't able to get quite the right fit. We suggested that he might like to try the Cutting Service. That was a year ago and Mr MacLaren hasn't looked back since!
Great care and attention to detail is maintained in the cutting process. Each pouch is individually hand cut to ensure accuracy and quality. Emphasis is placed on the personal attention given to each in dividual's needs when a product is hand cut.
If you have any problems with the fitting of your pouches you should always contact your Stoma Care Nurse for help and advice.
