In the world of pediatric care, play is part of learning. This doll has a pretend stoma and is wearing a small pediatric pouch. As an item of comfort the doll is used to facilitate learning about the stoma and its care. Neonates, infants and young children require specialized pouches to accommodate size, rapid growth and the physiological differences in skin structure compared to the adult. Products are smaller and hypoallergenically-designed adhesives reduce skin injury such as skin irritation and tears. |
