However, the previous poster is right. Her stoma nurse should be able to steer her in the right direction and sign her up with the right place to get her supplies. If she's in Australia, she will get her supplies free from the Ostomy Assoc. They're free too in the UK. In the USA her stoma nurse will hook her up with a supplier who, depending on her insurance, will send her supplies free or with a co-pay. In Canada, I believe in some places they get a half yearly allowance to help pay for supplies. Again, the stoma nurse will have all the info. Good luck. The main manufacturer’s websites are:
