Professional resources to help you and your patients
Your patients may need a lot of help and guidance, both before and after stoma surgery. In this section, we present a wide variety of Coloplast tools, materials and programmes that can support you in caring for and helping your patients
Ostomy Skin Tool
The Ostomy Skin Tool was developed for the DialogueStudy, a global clinical study, to assess the condition of peristomal skin over time. It has been tested in practice by the members of the Coloplast Global Advisory Board and some of their colleagues before being introduced into the DialogueStudy. The Ostomy Skin Tool consists of two parts; the DET score and the diagnostic guide.

Safe digital resources
This document will allow the Stoma Care Nurse to offer supportive and reliable websites in the knowledge that patients will be receiving valuable, correct and reliable information about all aspects of life with a stoma.
Ostomy Self-assessment Tools
If your stoma patients are experiencing sore skin or leakage, they may want to try free samples to reduce these issues. Our Ostomy Self-assessment Tools have been created with the help of stoma nurses to offer the best guidance and recommend product solutions for those issues.
