Please join B. Braun Medical Inc. at the 50th annual Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses (WOCN) Conference from June 3-5, 2018, in Philadelphia.

B. Braun will sponsor two Innovation Theater presentations at WOCN in the Exhibit/Poster Hall, Pennsylvania Convention Center:

·       Lessons from a Grateful Patient, 6:30 p.m., Sunday, June 3

Rolf Benirschke*, an ostomate, former NFL player, and co-founder of Legacy Health Strategies*, will share stories and lessons he has learned as an ostomate. He also will explore the advantages of WOC nurses and ostomates connecting with myosto™.

The recently launched myosto resource includes a website (myosto-mylife.com) and toll-free numbers that provides access to educational information, support, and product information to people living with ostomies, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals. The website is designed to help individuals navigate the ostomy care journey and includes daily living tips as well as patients’ stories on lifestyle and product experiences. Requests for product samples are also available through the website.

·       Go With the Flow: Evolution of Managing High Output Stomas, 2 p.m., Monday, June 4

A presentation, roundtable discussion, and question-and-answer session will be led by Julie Bauer, RN, BSN, Clinical Manager, Business Development, OPM Division,

B. Braun; Paula Erwin-Toth, MSN, RN, CWOCN, FAAN; and Marina Trago, RN, BSN, CWCN. The B. Braun High Output System for managing high output stomas will be featured.

In booth #817 at WOCN, B. Braun will feature these products:

·       Flexima® 3S ostomy products, which includes a two-piece mechanical coupling system offering convex, flat standard wear, and flat base plates with tape border as well as closed, Roll'Up (drainable), urostomy and high output pouches.

·       Actreen® Mini, a ready-to-use, single-use, pre-lubricated (hydrophilic) 3.5-inch female intermittent catheter. The Actreen Mini Catheter and Actreen Mini Set are designed for simple and convenient use, and discretion.

·       Prontosan® Wound Solutions and Gels, designed for wound management. The Prontosan family of products offers two ingredients in the wound solutions and gels that combine to maximize cleansing power.

Betaine (surfactant) is a surface-active cleanser that provides immediate debridement.
