Someone suggested Adapt 7730, apparently hard to find, but I am doing a search. Any other ideas (this is for a flange)? I sometimes waste a brand new flange after a doctor or hospital appointment. Thank you all!

After the withdrawal of Adapt 7730, I tried all sorts of alternative adhesives. Then, it occurred to me that a stoma pouch is in fact a prosthetic.
I then tried a few prosthetic adhesives and the best of these for my purposes was one called 'Probond'.
However, all the others worked quite well but they each had irritating aspects such as: Those that were 'white' in colour tended to leave a lot of residue which was much harder to remove than the clear versions.
I also found that the Probond prosthetic adhesive came with a small application brush, which turned out to be much better than the 7730 spray inasmuch as I had/have much more control on where it lands.
I have recently had a discussion with my stoma nurse, who was dubious about any adhesives other than those specifically for stomas. However, I think she has fallen fort the manufacturer's advertising hype, because the prosthetic glue has been researched and developed for sticking to all types of sensitive skin. and I have now been using it for 12 months without any problems at all.
I would highly recommend it as a replacement for 7730.

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

Not sure what your application is, but I have been using Hypafix to tape down the edges of my barrier for 10 years. My biggest complaint as a new ostomate was peeling of the edges of my wafer (I use a two-piece from Coloplast, Sensura Mio). When I would sweat or work out, the barrier would begin peeling nearly instantly. Since using Hypafix, I get 5-7 days between appliances. I get a 10 yd roll from Amazon for about $6 that lasts two years.

Talking about having an ostomy can be uncomfortable for most people. Still, it's something you can't always avoid.

Ten Aces Med (medical adhesive spray) has a replacement that works as well as 7730.

I use a product called Skin Tac… absolutely terrific as long as you don't have to change the appliance often… it really keeps things on for a while.

I've used "Skin Tac" and it does make your skin tacky. I keep a bottle around.
