Anneaux Ring Seal Information Needed

This topic is about understanding what an "anneaux ring seal" is, as listed by the supplier EdgePark. The original poster was curious about this product and sought more information. Here's what was shared:

- "Anneaux" is the French word for "ring." The "anneaux ring seals" listed by EdgePark are actually Sure Seal Rings. These are available from EdgePark and other suppliers.

- Sure Seal Rings:
1. They are hypo-allergenic, latex-free, and skin-friendly barriers that go over the wafer/flange to help keep it securely in place.
2. A common application sequence shared by users is: barrier wipe, optionally followed by a hair-dryer-warmed Eakin Ostomy Barrier Seal, then the wafer/flange, the Sure Seal Ring, and finally the pouch.
3. Users report that these rings prevent edge lift, protect the skin, and significantly reduce leaks, with some calling them a "godsend."
4. Free samples can be requested from Active Lifestyle Products Inc. by calling 1-877-257-4562.

- Eakin Ostomy Barrier Seal:
1. This is often used instead of paste and can be warmed with a hair dryer for better adhesion.
2. It is particularly useful for flush stomas and for wafers that start to pull away after a few days.
3. Some users combine it with skin-bonding cement for extra security, achieving up to 3 days of wear before needing a change.

- An application tip was requested by a member on how to peel the outer layer from the Sure Seal film after placement, but no detailed instructions were provided in the discussion.
