If I were tasked with the job of creating a company to help ostomy patients, I think this is how I would do it. I first would want to talk to the young adults and children who have ostomy bags and see what flaws their pouches in hopes of designing a new kind of bag better suited for them. Secondly, I would want to try and make it more discrete as I personally find it kind of gross how they need to be emptied. Finally, I would set up a support group in my building for anyone who is suffering from bullying or mental health regarding their ostomy pouch.
As someone who does not have a need for an ostomy bag, I do not think I am the most qualified person to start up a business in this regard, but I know I would do my best to help any patients. I want to make a more comfortable bag. I would make a bag that, when it is on it does not feel like it. I would make it, so the skin side of the bag is an excellent push material infused with a soothing lotion. This would be good as it would be comfortable, and the infused cream would provide comfort to the skin under the bag. This would also protect the skin from eroding away under the pouch and help promote healthy skin.
To make the pouch more user-friendly, first, I would want to talk to the patients and tell them my vision. I would make the bag have two compartments. One big one for holding the discharge and another long shoot separated by a clip. This clip will need to be removed, so it allows the discharge to go down it and into a toilet. This would be a long piece so the bag can remain attached but still be drained in a simple way.
Finally, I would like to set up a support group that helps anyone suffering from mental instability or bullying due to the surgery they had to get to save their life. Not having an ostomy bag growing up, I would not know what it is like for them, but I have been bullied before, so I can at the least relate to them in that aspect. I am sure it is not easy growing up having an ostomy bag, especially in these times in the schools. It has been my experience, and opinion kids nowadays are nasty to one another. Some of the things they say to one another baffle me from time to time.
I believe that this is an excellent start to building up a company specifically for ostomy patients. I want to help them live a better, more comfortable life and provide a safe environment for them if they need it. With a new ostomy pouch that is created for comfort and convenience would be a significant improvement to some of their lives. The support group would be something that meets in person; the hope is they all bond and can grow together. In today’s world, people can be cruel to one another without getting to know one another. I believe that it is vital to be kind to everyone you meet regardless of what is going on in their life.
