Peristeen®… Upgraded: What to Expect with Peristeen® Plus Transanal Irrigation System
Peristeen® has been upgraded! Peristeen Plus Transanal Irrigation System will be replacing Peristeen, so you will receive it in one of your upcoming reorders from your supplier if you have not already. Join us to learn more about Peristeen Plus - an upgraded version of the Peristeen you know - with improvements designed to make it easier for you to use. The how-to-use steps for Peristeen Plus are the same as Peristeen, and its effectiveness is the same, but we would like to share what changes you can expect.
Coloplast Sr. Marketing Manager, Angela Jens, together with Coloplast Clinical Consultants, Belinda Coyle, RN, and Karen Spriggs, RN, will introduce you to Peristeen Plus and share the differences you’ll notice from Peristeen.
Kristy Kinlaw, dedicated bowel Coloplast® Care Advisor, will be available to answer product and lifestyle related questions, and share some of the new Peristeen Plus resources available to help make your transition to Peristeen Plus even easier. And you will have the chance to hear from fellow Peristeen users who have started to use Peristeen Plus, who will share their experience in transitioning to the new product.
