Feeling Comfortable in Your Own Skin
At Dansac, we want to empower people to overcome the physical, social, and psychological challenges of living with a stoma. Together, we can help remove the stigma of having a stoma and give someone a new chance at life.
Every person has a story, and every story matters. Share yours on social media using the hashtags #OAD2023 and #OstomateVoices. You can also submit your story to be contacted about becoming a future Stoma Hero and having your story featured in a future email newsletter.

Stoma. Skin. Soul.
In our dedication to stoma care, we’ve learned how important it is to keep sight of the whole person and what matters most to them, their loved ones, and the clinicians who care for them.
Living With a Stoma
Having a stoma is a big change in a person's life. How to deal with it depends on your situation. The information and support you need may differ from what others need.
Skin at Peace
You are so much more than your stoma, but experiencing sore skin can make it tough to focus on the rest of you. That’s why keeping healthy skin around your stoma is so important. Our TRE™ products provide three levels of protection that work together to keep skin naturally healthy.
Here For You
Whether you are living with a stoma, a caregiver, or a healthcare professional, our Secure Start™ services team can help. Contact us with any questions about stoma care topics, our products, or how to use them.
