Welcome to Coloplast® Care
We know that having an ostomy is a life-changer. No matter how far you are on your path to recovery, living with an ostomy is not only about day-to-day practicalities of changing your bag or finding the right product – it is also about coping with everyday challenges.
We have therefore created Coloplast® Care - a free support programme for people with an ostomy – where we offer valid information as well as personalized support so you can live the life you want.
