The
concept of the Omnigon Stoma Support Belt arose from a series
of meetings with a panel of senior Stomal Therapist Nurses
The group quickly established that there was a definite
need for an appliance that provided effective parastomal
hernia control as no satisfactory product existed at that
time.

Two
main objectives were identified:
•
"The
support belt should be comfortable, discreet and made from
lightweight, breathable fabric suitable for all climatic conditions.
•
The support belt should have no "hole" for the stoma.
As parastomal hernias most often occur at the base, or the
immediate proximity, of the stoma, logically this is the main
area requiring support."
