NORMALISING LIFE WITH AN OSTOMY

U-CAN is a disruptor in stoma care, specialising in the design and development of unique proprietary solutions which can change the lives of ostomates globally and improve environmental sustainability of the ostomy pouch industry.


Nothing should get in the way of normalising the lives of ostomates globally.

The idea for U-CAN started late 2019 when Steve Sterling underwent colon cancer treatment, which led to him living with a temporary Ileostomy for 6 months.

Steve’s experience with the management of his stoma and the pouch emptying process led him to believe there had to be a better way.

With his background as a physiotherapist and a passion for disruption Steve set about creating his own solutions to make his life easier and more “normal”.

Things really stepped up a gear when Steve became a resident at CERI (Centre for Entrepreneurial Research & Innovation).

Steve now seeks partners in the business with a vision to nomalise the lives of ostomates globally and make a difference to the quality of life for people and planet.
