"Our research scientists and engineers are dedicated to delivering breakthrough innovations that provide next generation performance for our customers' products and better patient care." EuroTec Ostomy Systems EuroTec supplies a wide range of unique stoma products. EuroTec produces 1-piece and 2- piece ostomy systems, as well as accessry products, which no other company can offer. EuroTec stands for quality, excellent service and personal support. All EuroTec pouches are made of a high grade, multilayer films for superior performance and design for comfort and great appearance. The pouches of EuroTec also have an extra 'raincoat'; an additional layer of film that separates the filter from the stoma. Special openings in the top of this 'raincoat' allow the gases to pass into the filter. EuroTec is virtually the only manufacturer that adds an extra 'raincoat' to the inside of their closed pouches. The filters of the closed pouched can easily be closed off to prevent "pancaking" by means of the added stickers. For bathing or swimming, special POREX hydrophobic membrane prevents water penetrating the filter, whilst the gases continue to escape from the pouch. "A common complaint of ostomates using drainable pouches with carbon filter is the bleeding of the moist content through the filter, leaving black stains in the clothing," said Arthur Smid, Co-Founder of EuroTec. "These carbon stains are hard to remove in the laundry and spoil the clothing of the patient. The combination of our raincoat and the applied Porex membrane resolves this problem."
