Ostomy Sink


Ostomy Sink
The Issue
Being a person who has a colostomy, using public toilets can be a nightmare.
Having the use of accessible toilets is great however when it comes to emptying or changing of my bag it can be difficult to do even in an accessible toilet.
Having a Ostomy sink area that was higher than the existing toilet size would allow changing/draining so much easier and hygienic, rather than having to set our Ostomy bags and changing resources on the floor area around the toilet where people have stood while having to either kneel down or crouch down to drain or change.
Having an Ostomy sink would also give us great help if needing to wash the area.
There are toilets to sit, urinals to stand, changing areas for children, so why can't we have somthing we can use comfortably, safely and hygienically also.
