Our users
We listen closely to the people who use our products, so we understand their needs and can respond with the right solutions.
Meet some of the people we’ve helped.
"When I use Luja I empty my bladder completely. I don’t need to reposition. It’s very fast and practical."
“I struggled to empty my bowel completely. Then I tried Peristeen Light, which helped me get a full night’s sleep.”
“To be able to choose the product, the size, the fit that feels good to me and now the colour – I can’t express how much that means to someone like me.”
"The dressing is making my wound heal quicker. And I’m in a better frame of mind because it’s healing. I’m just really happy to be honest."
"I am healed from the top of my head to the bottom of my foot. We are on the road again!"
"In many ways I live the same life as before the surgery, which is now 7 years ago."
