I found this at Drugwatch: "Coloplast started in Denmark in 1954 by nurse Elise Sorensen, who had an idea when her younger sister, Thora, then 32, had her colon removed after a cancer diagnosis. The operation saved her life but left her embarrassed and afraid to leave her house. Newly invented plastic bags gave Elise an idea for a bag that would seal around the opening known as the stoma. She found a manufacturer to help, and distributed 1,000 ostomy bags to hospitals. Two years later, they were exporting two-thirds of the bags, and Coloplast was born."

Shouldn't this be incorporated into the History section? David notMD ( talk) 10:25, 30 August 2021 (UTC) reply

The situation is right, but the company was founded in 1957 and not in 1954. Regards Berbel (Coloplast Denmark A/S) employee
