Effective Leaders are Effective Managers, Too

Why is it that no one aspires to be a good manager these days? While good leaders are essential for galvanizing people and moving organizations forward, managers are not any less important.

Coloplast Offers Complete Convex Solutions: Flat, Deep, and Now Shallow

-



       With the launch of Assura® Convex Light, Coloplast is one of the few suppliers with a full range of convex solutions for ostomy patients.
       Designed for users with flush or slightly retracted stomas, new Assura Convex Light is a flexible, soft, and secure new adhesive that provides low pressure on the abdomen. It is ideal for use with deep skin folds and scars and is available in one- and two-piece systems with pre-cut and cut-to-fit sizes.
       In a recent trial, 70 percent of end users preferred Convex Light for its comfort, flexibility, softness, and feeling of security.1 Survey results from 100 enterostomal therapy/wound, ostomy, continence nurses worldwide indicate an increasing need for more shallow convexity, due to users' active lifestyles, increasing obesity, and concern about leakage. In addition, trialists indicated that a shallow convexity adhesive is comfortable and provides superior protection.
       Details about Assura Convex Light and the full Assura® Ostomy Assortment are available online at www.us.coloplast.com, or for more information, call (800) 533-0464 or send an e-mail to usmedweb@coloplast.com.
