Résumé

Stoma products often look and feel medical and can prevent ostomates from living life to the full. They are not designed to address common problems experienced by patients; they can be bulky and visible, allow flatus to escape, need frequent changing (often disrupting sleep) and are uncomfortable. Pelican Healthcare's ModaVi range of ostomy pouches were designed using insight from intestinal ostomates. The company considered their unmet needs and designed products intended to improve patients' quality of life, allowing them to lead the lives they want. ModaVi pouches have innovative features, including being made of a soft fabric that is comfortable and water resistant, and come in black and neutral colours. The pouches are made in different sizes, which can be altered to meet patients' lifestyles and fit in clothing. In addition, they are adapted for people with poor sight or dexterity, and the simple outlet and viewing window make them easier to use. New and established ostomates have evaluated them positively.
