Below is an email to Hollister - has anyone els had the same problem?
To Hollister,
I have used hollister pouches for the last 15 years and, until the
last few months, have had no problems. Unfortunately this has now
changed.
Two months ago I ordered my usual four boxes of the 1489 eurostomy
pouches and when I started wearing these it became obvious that there
was a big problem with leakage. All leaked from the same area and that
was, as you are looking down on a pouch that you are wearing, the leak
is from the right hand side of the tap mechanism where the base of the
tap is glued to the inside of the plastic bag.
I threw all of these boxes away and ordered new. At first these were
alright but the same problem has now appeared. Example of batch
numbers are: 6E242, 7D273 and 7C273.
I have ordered and started wearing the 1459 Impression C pouches and
these are not too good either as, leading a very active life, the
plaster comes away after about 4 or 5 hours. My ideal would be an
impression C pouch with the same plaster system as the regular 1489.
I am about to start a blog forum for other users of your products and
I will let you know if it is just me that is having these problems.
