Stoma Guard Review
The Stomaplex stoma guard is a product I, and many ostomy patients, have been waiting for – finally someone designed a protector that I can recommend to my patients in need.
There are many reasons why patients should consider using the protector, the most important being the safety and security they provide.
Of course, the number one reason for women and men using the Stomaplex stoma belt is the ability to safely wear a seat belt. That is the ultimate in security and support. Always wear an ostomy seat belt protector while driving in a car.

The Freedom-Guard GTX is the original design. Inside there is a neoprene padding with a nylon covering. This shield is the softest offered by Stomaplex. The padding cleans and dries quickly.
The Freedom-Guard ATX is the toughest and most durable. Inside there is an FDA approved rubber padding. This protector will not absorb water in the swimming pool. This guard is recommended for sports. Use the ostomy belt for swimmimg and feel protected.
The Pure Comfort is the thinnest and most comfortable. Inside there is a padding made with leather. This protection is the thinnest and the lightest in weight.
Ostomy Protection:
With this contoured ostomy protector, there will be no pressure on your ostomy. This belt improves your confidence and allows you to wear your normal clothing with tight belts. This belt is great for work in the office, job site, gym or swimming pool.

Stomaplex Guard
Each Stomaplex guard is custom made to your specific stoma measurements. The guards are contoured for maximum protection and comfort while allowing the stoma's output to flow.
Three styles to match your lifestyle and comfort needs.
The Freedom-Guard GTX is a great multi-purpose guard. It is both soft, easy to clean, and very comfortable.
The Freedom-Guard ATX is the best for ostomy sports and athletics. The non-absorbant construction makes it an ideal belt for swimming.
The Pure-Comfort ATX is the most comfortable guard. The thin and light weight materials make the guard invisible over your ostomy.
