Did you know that at Coloplast, we have a team that is exclusively VA focused? Through this work, we’ve had the honor of meeting countless veterans whose lives have been transformed by better access to care — veterans who are now traveling, reconnecting with their lives, and gaining independence through the right products and support.

We know the VA system can be complex — and at times, overwhelming. Many veterans don’t realize they can get access to the care and products they need. It may take a few extra steps, but it’s possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.

💡Advocating for yourself matters. When your VA team knows what you need, they can help make it happen — even if the product isn’t on hand right away. There are pathways to access, and we’re here to help navigate them.

To all who served — thank you. Today and every day, your care matters.

Meet Hana 🩵
She’s lived most of her life with Hirschsprung’s disease and IBS-C, facing severe constipation from a very young age. Simple daily tasks were a challenge—and it often felt like she was missing out on the joy of living.

In 2024, Hana made the brave decision to undergo colostomy surgery. Since then, she says she’s felt healthier, more energized, and finally ready to embrace life to the fullest. 🌟

"While adjusting to an ostomy takes time, it can truly improve your quality of life,” she says.

What has helped? Her Coloplast products! With them, she can be active, try new things, and savor life without the worries she had before!

Prior to use, refer to the product ‘Instructions for Use’ for intended use and relevant safety information. Each person's situation is unique, so your experience may not be the same.

Have you updated your prescription yet?

New billing codes are kicking in starting January 1st, which means your current prescription may no longer reflect the product you need if you use hydrophilic catheters.

📋 What you need to do?

- Talk to your supplier or prescribing clinician: you'll need a new prescription to continue to receive your catheters.

🚨 Heads Up, Hydrophilic Catheter Users! 🚨

Starting in 2026, you'll need to update your prescription to keep getting the same product you love. Why? New billing codes are kicking in starting January 1st, which means your current prescription may no longer reflect the product you need.

📋 What you need to do?

For people with spina bifida, nerve damage can disrupt bladder control. That means the bladder may empty too much, too soon… or not at all.

This can have a big impact on daily life.

The solution for many is intermittent catheterization (IC) — a routine that can help protect bladder health.

Call Coloplast Care at 1-866-226-6362 if you need help finding a catheter that fits your life.

The Coloplast Story

The Coloplast story begins back in 1954. Elise Sørensen is a nurse. Her sister Thora has just had an ostomy operation and is afraid to go out in public, fearing that her stoma might leak. Listening to her sister’s problems, Elise conceives the idea of the world’s first adhesive ostomy bag.

Based on Elise’s idea, Aage Louis-Hansen, a civil engineer and plastics manufacturer, and his wife Johanne Louis-Hansen, a trained nurse, created the ostomy bag. An ostomy bag that helps Thora – and thousands of people like her – to live the life they want to lead.

A simple solution that makes a difference.

Today, our business includes Ostomy Care, Continence Care, Wound & Skin Care and Urology Care. We operate globally and employ about 11,000 employees.
