If a patient's urinary or digestive system is not properly functioning, then they may require an ostomy procedure as treatment. These procedures allow the use of an ostomy bag to collect waste from a surgical abdominal opening. Bags are attached directly to the opening made by the procedure. The use of deodorants, such as the Ostofresh Liquid Deodorant, is useful in eliminating any unwanted odors, while increasing comfort and confidence for the patient. An ostomy procedure can be performed for any number of reasons, and can be either permanent or temporary. Conditions often treated by an ostomy procedure include cancer, birth defects, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Diverticulitis, and severe abdomen injuries.
When using the Ostofresh Liquid Deodorant, patients can stop worrying about odors and get back to enjoying life. This deodorant can improve the quality of life for ostomates by reducing anxiety and self-consciousness. It is especially useful for helping patients return to daily activities and settings where they have to be near other people. The Cardinal Health at Home Ostofresh Liquid Deodorant can be purchased as a single 8-ounce bottle, or in larger quantities. A single bottle can be useful for just one patient, while larger quantities are ideal for hospitals, nursing homes, and similar healthcare facilities. It can be found in boxes of 5, 10, 20, or 50. All it takes is a few drops to work.
While you can get rid of most ostomy bag odors with Ostofresh Liquid Deodorant, this does not replace proper care of the bag or good hygiene. Ostomy bags should be cleaned regularly in order to prevent infection.
