2017 Sponsor & Exhibitor Profiles

Salts Healthcare was founded in 1701 by brothers John and William Salt who started out as apprentice locksmiths in Wolverhampton before John became established as a surgeons’ instrument maker and cutler. Salts Healthcare ventured into Stomal Therapy in 1948 when Edward Salt started working with Professor Bryan Brooke of Birmingham General Hospital to hand-produce ostomy bags (Professor Brooke perfected the eversion technique for suturing stomas). The extensive knowledge accumulated over decades of association with patients and Stomal Therapy Nurses has resulted in the development of unique appliances particularly in relation to ostomy hydrocolloids. Salts provide a diverse range of ostomy pouches together with ostomy accessories such as seals, wipes and support garments. The company is still in family hands with Phillip, Peter and Robert Salt making regular visits to Australia and New Zealand.

AinsCorp Pty Ltd was established in 2008 with the goal of supplying exceptional medical devices within Australia and New Zealand. AinsCorp operates in the Ostomy and Complex Wounds and Fistula medical device markets in which the organisation has had decades of experience at all levels. AinsCorp has an exclusive agreement with Salts Healthcare and is proud to promote such unique products of exceptional quality.

We look forward to welcoming you to our stand at the 41st AASTN National Conference.

Coloplast Pty Ltd is a subsidiary of Coloplast A/S, marketing and distributing products manufactured by Coloplast Denmark throughout Australia and New Zealand.

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.

Coloplast products were introduced into Australia in the 1970’s and the commitment continues today in both Australia and New Zealand.

Today, our business includes Ostomy Care, Continence Care, Wound & Skin Care and Urology Care. We operate globally and employ more than 10,000 employees.

In all these areas, we are guided by Nurse Elise Sørensen’s passion and commitment.

Like her, we work closely with people who have intimate healthcare needs. We listen to their needs and respond with products and services that make their lives easier.
