Nu-Hope Ostomy Supplies & Hernia Belts
Nu-Hope first began to manufacture ostomy supplies in 1958. Since then, it has developed a complete product portfolio that includes colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy bags, skin barriers, wafers, flanges, rings, and ostomy accessories.
Nu-Hope's Foray Into Hernia Belts
Recognizing that ostomy patients were predisposed towards developing parastomal hernias (at times wrongly referred as peristomal hernias), Nu-Hope expanded its portfolio beyond ostomy bags to include ostomy hernia belts and ostomy support belts. Nowadays Nu-Hope has the largest and, according to ostomy professionals, the best assortment of ostomy hernia belts available in the market. Nu-Hope belts come in multiple height and hole sizes, varied hole placements, and different materials to suit any stoma type and just about any parastomal hernia stage.
Nu-Hope's Way
Nu-Hope has developed a reputation for innovation through years of close interaction with Enterostomal Therapy Nurses (ETN) and ostomy patients. As a result, all ostomy supplies are designed with the needs and requirements of the specific condition in mind (colostomy, leostomy, urostomy, parastomal hernias), and represent a unique, affordable and effective solution.
