Conceal Plugs are Discontinued?
« Thread Started on Jan 10, 2004, 1:38am »

Hi, i was just starting to feel comfortable with my colostomy (I was using coloplast conceal plugs). I just tried to order some more, and i was told they have been discontinued.....I feel like I'm doomed now. Does anyone know of any other "plug" alternatives...Please Help!

Hi John,
My husband has an ileostomy, so I don't know personally. I asked on another site and this is the reply I got:

"Hi Kathy the prescription before last I ordered Coloplast assura plugs and they arrived no probs, approx 6weeks or so ago"

I'd check again...they are still advertised on the Coloplast website.

Edited to add:
You may want to check out these sites as well...

Hello there,

Im afraid Coloplast have indeed ceased production of Conseal plugs. Various Online osomy stores are still listing stock available but you obviously have to pay and its not covered by insurance (worth checking though).

Also this stock will start to vanish with time soon, so it would probably also be wise to start looking into a bag system to replace it. I can highly recommend the Coloplast Assura range.

Sorry I cant give you any happier news. :/

buh bye now,
