An Ostomate does what needs to be done!
Len Millman developed The Celebration Ostomy Support Belt.
Len had lived with Ulcerative Colitis since he was fourteen years old.
In his late forties his situation worsened and he received a Colostomy.
At the time Len was a registered pharmacist living in Las Vegas. He was aware
of the products available to him as an ostomate. He was active in golf and
tennis and was living as a bachelor in one of the playgrounds of the world. He
knew he had to create a belt that would allow him the freedom to enjoy his
active life style. He developed the concept for the Celebration Belt fairly
rapidly. He knew what he wanted the belt to do for him and he quickly came up
with a viable design.
He wanted to stop the pendulum action of the bag, he wanted to secure the
wafer against his stoma, making it virtually leak proof, he wanted to protect
the stoma from trauma and he wanted to be able to conceal the bag and wafer when
he felt like it.
The Celebration belt was appropriately engineered and produced and was
granted a patent for it’s unique features not available in any other ostomy
device.
In 1998 Len passed away.
We know this is an excellent product and are proud to bring it to the ostomy
community. It is a tribute to Len that we can move this forward and make it
available to all Ostomates. This belt is appropriate for any ostomate who wishes
to enjoy an active life style, whether it be sports or simply getting around the
house and taking walks and being unafraid to move about.
