    It is difficult to make the adhesive stick to the skin when applying

    If you are experiencing poor adhesion when applying the adhesive, it is often due to one of three reasons: 1) Residues from the subsequent adhesives creating an uneven skin surface. 2) Hair growth around the stoma resulting in the adhesive sticking to the hairs rather than the skin. 3) The skin is moist from cleaning or output from the stoma.

    IMPORTANT! If you have any concerns – such as skin problems or how to use new products – you should always consult your stoma care nurse.

    Residues

    Hair

    • Shave the area regularly so that the hair remains level with the skin, without the feeling of stubble.
    • Avoid shaving foam and other shaving products, and use a clean disposable razor. Alternatively, cut the hair with scissors. 

    Moist

    • The skin must be completely clean and dry in order to obtain optimal adhesion. Make sure you use a soft material to dap the moist away. You might also use a hair dryer from a suitable distance and not too warm.
    • It can be a challenge to keep the skin dry during application if output is continuously coming out of the stoma. It might help to wrap a little gauze around the stoma while changing to absorb output.
