Medihoney is made from pure Manuka honey, which has special anti-bacterial properties not found in regular honey. It is medical-grade manuka hoeny, meaning that it has been filtered and sterilized to kill any bacteria.

How does Medihoney help heal chronic wounds? Manuka honey contains high levels of MGO (methylglyoxal), which is the main component responsible for the anti-bacterial properties of Medihoney.

Medihoney also has a low pH level, which helps maintain a "sour" wound environment, which makes it hard for bacteria to survive - resulting reduced chance of the wound getting infected. Medihoney also works naturally (without harsh chemicals) with the body to promote debridement

OstaBelt is an innovative stylish belt system dedicated to help ostomy patients return to an active lifestyle. Created with the most durable and breathable material, the OstaBelt is guaranteed to provide comfort and protection around the clock. With a simple opening of a zipper, you will be able to empty out pouch contents effortlessly. Our system works with a one-piece or two-piece flange to provide a universal fit.

How Do I Put On my OstaBelt?

The OstaBelt has a unique application where the flange is inserted through the hole opening on the back of the belt.  The flange then appears in the inside zippered pouch compartment where the ostomy bag will attach.

Flange Seal Rings create a waterproof barrier around the edge of your flange, preventing water from penetrating through the edges of your flange.  This helps prevent premature flange detachment due to water exposure.  Flange Seal Rings are made of an adhesive, transparent, thin waterproof membrane.

How Do I Put On Flange Seal Rings?

After attaching your Flange as usual, apply the Flange Seal ring directly on top of your flange, covering up the edge of the flange to protect it from water.

How to Choose the Right Size of Flange Seal Rings

If your flange is 57mm or below, choose product code
