The Colopaix System
At Ostopaix, we are dedicated to offering a range of ostomy devices and accessories that prioritize comfort and discretion. Our mission is to empower ostomates and caregivers by providing innovative solutions to manage ostomy-related challenges effectively. With a focus on quality and comfort, we strive to enhance the everyday lives of individuals with ostomies, ensuring they lead fulfilling and confident lives.
The system is incredibly simple and was designed to be as effective as possible while causing the least amount of inconvenience. Additionally, it works with nearly all brands and styles of bags on the market today.
Having to deal with a quiet fart is just as uncomfortable as a loud one. Unlike existing devices, this product does not attempt to quiet stoma noises, rather, it prevents them from occurring to begin with utilizing soft foam placed within the bags ring.
The Colopaix system is totally discreet and can easily be hidden under normal clothing. You will be free of the worry of unwanted interruptions and no one will know about it, except you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our clients trust Ostopaix for superior ostomy care products. Here's some of the frequently asked questions we receive.
Since this system applies pressure against the stoma, does it cause irritation or discomfort?
Most users report that they can wear this system for extended periods of time, including all day every day, without substantial discomfort. However, it is designed to allow users to "roll-down" the band or shirt to remove pressure from the pad to allow for a break. The great thing with this product, you can easily and quickly pause and resume the pressure which allows users to easily wear it as long as they are comfortable.
How is this system different from sound mufflers that exist from other companies?
The Colopaix system does not "muffle" the sound. It utilizes appropriate pressure and materials to prevent the sound from ever occurring while still allowing the manufacturers system to function normally. If your stoma can't vibrate when passing gas, no loud noises are emitted.
Will this work for all bag types available for colostomy's?
No. Though, it will work for most colostomy bags. Its imperative to ensure your bag's inner flange diameter is at least 50 mm. It will NOT work for flanges smaller than 49 mm. Also, this system is best suited for vented bags as they prevent air pressure from building up. If unvented bags are worn, it is imperative to "burp" the bags sufficiently to keep the internal pressure down or there will not be adequate pressure placed against the stoma.
Will this work system work for ileostomy's as well?
This system is currently intended for colostomy applications but we are working diligently to implement the best approach for folks with ileostomy's as well.
Can I buy and wear a different band or shirt to use with this system?
Certain compression shirts or ostomy bands may well still function with this system, however, all of our products provide a 2-ply section which is needed to apply consistent and appropriate pressure based on our measurement guidelines. Single-ply athletic shirts or bands may not adequately resist the natural functions of the stoma to properly support the correct continuous pressure.
