Comfizz Men's Stoma Support Vest

Who Is the Comfizz Men's Stoma Support Vest For?
This vest is perfect for anyone with a stoma or recent surgical wounds looking for additional support and comfort. As a full-chest vest the Comfizz Men's Stoma Support Vest can offer support to multiple stomas, and also to high up stomas or surgical sites which are difficult to reach with conventional high waisted stoma support underwear.
Which Conditions is the Stoma Support Vest Appropriate For?

- Securing and protecting conventional stomas and ostomy devices

- Supporting multiple stomas
- Supporting high stomas that cannot be reached by conventional high-waisted stoma support underwear

The stretchy and breathable fabric is simply worn like any other vest. It should fit snugly around the chest and abdomen to hold its wearer's ostomy bag or surgery site securely and discreetly.
