Latest update on The TIES Solution
Message from Ostomycure CEO, Graeme Smith.
The interest in our TIES solution for permanent ileostomy patients is growing globally. Our clinical study to prove safety and efficacy was well underway until the impact of COVID-19 halted most elective surgery in Europe.
Our strategy has been to expand the clinical sites participating in the study and we have gone from 2 sites in 1 country (UK) to negotiating with 18 sites in 4 countries (Austria, Poland, Sweden and the UK) with more pending.
“In today’s Europe of changing and stricter safety and regulatory protocols, we are committed to do whatever it takes to bring the lifestyle changing TIES ileostomy lid solution to as many people as possible. Conventional stoma options have changed very little in the last 30 years and our goal is to provide additional options for permanent ileostomy patients” stated Graeme Smith.
As soon as clinical studies are given the green light to restart in Europe OstomyCure will be ready to support sites around the EU to participate in the clinical study.

My husband has a permanent ileostomy. Any plans for the United States of America?
ReplyDear Anita, thank you for your question to us. Sorry for the delayed answer. Yes, the plan is also other countries in the future. Take care!
ReplyI’m sorry, but I’m not on the bandwagon. The website is overly vague and doesn’t provide a detailed explanation of how this system works, as well as what risks it may have. I understand that many people are unhappy with their ostomy, but I feel your website paints a very rosy picture with no real discussion of the risks of an experimental treatment. I am concerned that you may be exploiting the vulnerabilities of a desperate group of people in order to gain experimental subjects. Anyone with an ileostomy knows that when you are dealing with the small bowel, nothing is fully predictable. It cannot be trained as in colonic irrigation. This may be a fantastic option, but at least provide full disclosure of how it actually works.
ReplyDear Lisa, thank you for your questions to us. The TIES Solution is still a clinical trial and that´s why we don´t have all the answers to give you all on the webpage. It´s due to GDPR and to the studyrules, for exemple; the patients are anonymous for 52 weeks. Also, we haven´t focused on the webpage because we have focused on the patients and we also had the pandemic in between. Hope to give you all the answers of your qestions in the near future. Stay tune!
ReplyI remember seeing info on this a few years ago when it first started up! I have a permanent ostomy due to crohns and have had it for 7 years. I live in the US and would be interested in being part of the clinical trail if it ever comes to the US.
ReplyDear Ashley, thank you for your question to us. Sorry for the delayed answer. Yes, the plan is also other countries in the future. Take care!
