Since 1971, MEDMART™ has provided
products that protect and shield a neck opening stoma. With stoma shields
we have served the needs of thousands
of men and women who have had laryngectomies. The medical profession describes
a laryngectomee as a person that has surgically lost their larynx.
MEDMART™ is dedicated to
providing a high quality and effective protective stoma shield designed and
manufactured to protect both night and day. Our StomaShields
and StomaGuards are easy to use and some models can be worn in the shower.

READY
MADE STOMA SHIELD
StomaShield™ is
an effective and disposable filtering cover specifically designed for
Stoma Protection. The Medmart stoma shield is neat looking, easily
concealable and can be worn night and day.
StomaShield™ is so light, you will forget you are wearing a stoma
shield, and it takes only seconds to change. MEDMART's™ StomaShield™ is
self-adhering. This is made possible by a non-irritating, hypoallergenic
adhesive medical tape. Medmart stoma shields come to you individually
packaged in a heat-sealed bag.

"MAKE-YOUR-OWN" STOMA
SHIELD™
If
the "Ready-Made" StomaShield™ is too small for your use,
then you can order MEDMART's™ "Make-Your-Own" StomaShield.™ Originally
requested by hospitals and patients that could not use the Medmart stoma
shield standard model because of stoma size, shape, or neck location,
our "Make-Your-Own" stoma shield is the answer!
Medmart stoma shields
offer carefully developed materials that are just as effective as our
standard StomaShield™. It comes packaged in a
sanitary heat-sealed bag for easy storage. MedmartStoma’s package
includes long, extra wide strips of our filtering material plus a roll
of non-irritating, hypoallergenic double-sided adhesive medical tape. Additional
rolls of tape may also be purchased.

STOMA
SHIELD COVER
AND BAND
The
washable StomaShield™ Cover and Band also reflects MEDMART's™ desire
to make life a little bit easier for laryngectomees. The StomaShield™ Cover
and new adjustable Meek Band is soft and very comfortable. Medmart's
stoma shield goes on and off in seconds. It fastens in front with a Velcro® fastener,
not a tieback.
Our cover is light
as a feather, and easy to wear. Our stoma shield is washable, so it can
be used over and over again. Both Cover and Band dry
almost instantly. Each StomaShield™ has its own cover with a band-attached
ready for use and is individually packed in a convenient heat-sealed
bag. We use a special filtering material that is non-allergenic, non-toxic,
reticulated, flexible polyester urethane foam. It also offers a three-dimensional
structure of skeletal strands that provide a unique filtering quality.
StomaShield™ reduces crusting and bleeding around the stoma. StomaShield™ also
reduces coughing as it allows air into your lungs uniformly and will
filter out most dirt and dust. Exhaling will help keep the stoma moist
under StomaShield.™

STOMA
GUARD I SHOWERSHIELD The
StomaGuard I™ ShowerShield is another fine, dependable
non-allergenic MEDMART™ product. Our stoma guard shower
shield is designed to completely shield your stoma (neck opening)
when showering and washing your hair. When properly taped,
the stoma guard shower shield will permit you to breathe freely
while preventing the shower spray and water from entering the
stoma.
Component parts
include disposable tape disc, rubber housing, tubular vent, and
perforated breathing filter. It comes in a
zip-lock bag for easy storage. The StomaGuard I™ ShowerShield,
except for the tape discs, has a lifetime guarantee under normal
use and conditions StomaGuard I™ is designed and intended
for use during showering only. It will not protect the stoma
(airway) if the head and the neck are submerged in water.
Note: The tubular
vent and filter should not be taken apart except for cleaning.
Do not use for swimming.

 RUBBER COLLAR SHOWERSHIELD MEDMART's™ ShowerShield
makes all other shower collars or shields obsolete!
After careful design,
we are now able to offer a stoma shield that goes on and off in seconds.
This is not a tieback style, it simply offers a perfect fit with our
unique Velcro® fastener. Made from a lightweight, medically approved vinyl,
our rubber collar stoma shield remains soft, pliable and most of all very
comfortable.
Note: Do not use for swimming.
