March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about prevention, early detection, and life after treatment. For many colorectal cancer survivors, that journey includes adapting to an ostomy. At Fortis Medical Products, we’re dedicated to helping patients navigate that path with dignity, security, and support—starting with high-quality ostomy care solutions like our trusted ostomy skin barriers.

What Fortis Medical Products Offers

Fortis Medical Products provides a full range of ostomy care solutions designed to meet the needs of people living with a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. Our products are created with one goal in mind: to help patients regain their independence, confidence, and comfort after surgery.

A key component of that support is our line of ostomy skin barriers—essential tools that help protect the skin, secure the pouching system, and improve overall wear time.

The Importance of Ostomy Skin Barriers

The skin around the stoma is delicate and prone to irritation, especially when exposed to moisture or frequent appliance changes. Our Entrust Skin Barrier Rings are designed to provide a reliable seal that protects the skin from output while promoting healthy skin and secure wear.

Features of Fortis Skin Barriers:

• Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Designed to reduce irritation and protect the peristomal skin, even with frequent use.
• Flexible and Comfortable: Our skin barriers conform to the body's contours, allowing for comfortable movement throughout the day.
• Reliable Adhesion: Strong, long-lasting adhesive helps reduce leaks and improve confidence in daily activities.
• Customizable Options: Available in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit individual needs and stoma types.

When paired with our other trusted ostomy accessories—like Entrust Stoma Paste—patients can create a secure and comfortable pouching system that supports both their physical and emotional well-being.

Making a Difference During Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

Colorectal cancer can change a person’s life, but it doesn’t have to take away their sense of normalcy. Fortis Medical Products is proud to support survivors and ostomy patients with products that make a real difference. This March, as we raise awareness about colorectal cancer, we also honor those living with the lasting impacts of this disease.

By offering reliable, skin-friendly, and comfortable ostomy solutions, we help patients focus less on their appliance—and more on living life to the fullest.

Moving Forward with Fortis

Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder that strength, resilience, and quality of life are possible after cancer. At Fortis Medical Products, we’re here to walk that path with you—one barrier, one pouch, one day at a time.
