Frequently asked questions
Do I need to open the packet before use?
No, there is no need to open it. The granules are enclosed in a specialized, water-soluble plastic film that dissolves automatically upon contact with liquid inside your ostomy pouch, ensuring a mess-free experience.
How do these help prevent leaks?
By transforming liquid output into a stable gel, the packets help evenly distribute the weight of the effluent. This prevents pooling and keeps the liquid away from the skin barrier, which significantly reduces the risk of leaks and maintains appliance integrity.
Can these packets help extend appliance wear time?
Yes. By keeping the effluent solidified and away from your skin barrier, the packets prevent the liquid from compromising the adhesive. This consistent management can help maintain the integrity of your appliance for longer periods.
Is this product safe for ileostomy use?
Yes, The Original Ile-Sorb is specifically engineered to manage loose ostomy effluent, making it highly effective for ileostomy users who need to thicken liquid output for better comfort and security.
How do I use these during a pouch change?
It is simple: just place a single dissolvable packet directly into your ostomy pouch during a pouch change or after emptying. The packet will then work automatically to manage the output.
How many packets are included in one order?
Each purchase includes 135 individual water-soluble packets, providing a reliable supply for your daily ostomy care routine.
Does it make emptying the pouch easier?
Absolutely. By converting liquid effluent into a manageable gel, the output is much more contained. This makes the emptying process significantly easier and cleaner for the user.
What happens if the gel comes into contact with my skin?
The purpose of the granules is to transform liquid into a gel inside the pouch to keep output away from your skin barrier. The gel is meant to remain contained within the pouch for your comfort and protection.
Are these packets meant for single use?
Yes, these are designed for single use. Each individual packet is intended to be placed in the pouch and will dissolve as it performs its function of solidifying the effluent.
Will this product work with any ostomy pouch?
The Original Ile-Sorb is designed to work effectively with standard ostomy pouches. Because the packet is small and dissolves quickly, it is generally compatible as long as it is placed inside the pouch to treat the effluent directly.
