FISTULA PATIENTS

Gel-X Benefits:

The stomatherapy nurses, or any other nurses who work with fistula patients whose fistulas need pouching, are finding Gel-X very helpful in the management of these patients. Following benefits are:

• Helps prevent nosocomial infections
• Better control of caustic or infectious fluids
• Prevents splashing, spilling or misting
• Greater safety for healthcare givers
• Easier emptying
• Better patient care
• Greater peace of mind for all

How to use:

By pouching the fistula with a drainable pouch and using Gel-X to convert the fluids into a semisolid gel, a safer environment for caregiver and patients can be created. Each tablet will convert about 150 ml of fluid into a manageable gel. Gel-X gives you the flexibility of using as little or as many tablets as are needed to fit the individual situation.
