Meet the Founder
I spent my nursing career alongside people living with ostomies. Then someone in my family received one, and I began to understand more personally what daily life with a stoma can involve.
One theme kept surfacing: the pouch change. It was often unpredictable, and something that should have been routine often wasn’t.
What surprised me most was what people were improvising with. Gauze. Toilet paper. Paper towels. Whatever was on the counter. These were people doing everything right, with access to supplies, and still without a real answer for one of the messiest moments of the process. It seemed like there should be something made for the job.
So I set out to create one.
OstoPlug® took shape over nearly a decade of conversations with ostomates, physicians, and wound and ostomy nurses. It is being designed to help contain and direct output during a pouch change. My goal is to develop it properly, carefully, and with real quality behind it before asking anyone to rely on it.
Because the people I built this for have spent long enough making do.
