The soft ace bandages with velcro are available at CVS and Walgreens. They usually have a picture of wrapping a knee so they are pretty long but that is good to give you length to wrap around the torso a couple of times.

The slit bandages were good for Bill's Peg...I have no idea the kind he had...certainly large enough that we had no clogging issues. His had a button at the stoma area...I would just slip the gauze pad under the button and around the tube. I was always careful not to handle the pads a lot...trying to keep bacteria off the pads so I would assume that cutting them with sissors might introduce more pathogens. The area under the button does not get a lot of air and the stuff that oozes is thick so it's a great place to have an infection. Bill never had one but we were pretty digital about cleaning under the button with saline and putting a new pad on every day.

Maybe there is a souce for you to get enteral feeding supplies for Carol...that would be a help with the costs. All of Bill's supplies and supplements were paid for by our insurance company and we had a home health agency that oversighted this. I would see if anyone can help with this.
