LiberOsto™: Streamlining Ostomy Care
Dr. M. Foda sincerely appreciates all ostomates who participated in the previous surveys posted on UOAA’s website and Facebook page during 2024. The valuable feedback received has helped guide the continued development of LiberOsto™, an ergonomic assistive reusable sanitary ostomy drainage device (SODD) intended for repeated long-term use to allow upright, easier, more hygienic, and more independent emptying of ostomy pouches into a toilet. Having personally lived with an ileostomy, Dr. Foda understands many of the practical daily challenges experienced by ostomates.
LiberOsto™ is designed to assist adult patients in emptying drainable external ostomy pouches and some internal surgically created continent reservoirs into a toilet from an upright position. LiberOsto™ incorporates adjustable angle and height drainage features that took in consideration ostomy patients’ desires for a smaller, easier-to-use, and more portable assistive device for home use and travel.
Your participation will help evaluate the current LiberOsto™ for educational and feedback purposes.
