Where can I buy personal medical supplies in Germany?

Question

Hello -

I am traveling to Germany in a month and I need to know where to buy personal medical supplies in Germany - i.e., a medical supply store in the US. I will need colostomy and incontinence products.

I don't need specific stores - but what is the name of the stores? I don't think Apothecaries will carry what I need. If you need of specific places in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich - that would be great.

Thanks,

EhudB

Answer 1

Most bigger stores carry an incontinency product for ladies called "tena lady". It is for mild incontinency and can be found among the tampons and monthly hygiene pads.

If this doesn't help you, try a "Sanitätshaus".

Here is the search result for Munich:

Answer 2

Special medical supply stores are called "Sanitätshäuser" (sg.: "Sanitätshaus"), but most bigger Apothecaries ("Apotheken") will also have what you need.
