import of stoma care accessories

[fvw53]

After a cystectomy I plan my return to Thailand end of August

I need 3 times a week to replace the stoma barrier and bag which I need now to collect the urine.

Because of a fold in my belly skin I need a high quaility accessory (convex barrier) and until now I could not find a supplier in Bangkok.

Are some Forum members having experience with this - eventually with the import of stoma care accessories?

I believe most members buy locally. See discussion here:

If you do have to have supplies shipped to you, make sure they are sent by regular mail and nto a courier. Use of a courier guarantees problems with customs (believe it or not, they will insist you need a medical equipment import license or the like). Make sure also that the customs slip filled out by the sender states it is for personal use. A categorization like "personal hygiene  supply" would be good, unless others can suggest something based on direct experience.  And keep the value small, several smnall shipments are better than a larger one.
