Advice and Insights:
- Seek help from an ostomy nurse for guidance and assistance with finding the right equipment and process.
- Consider using a ring to get a better seal around the stoma and skin prep for better adhesion.
- Utilize products like calamine lotion, stoma powder, diaper rash cream, and ensure the area is dry to alleviate discomfort and promote healing.
- Try barrier rings or paste around the stoma before fitting the pouch to prevent leaks and protect the skin.
- Experiment with different ostomy products and request free samples from companies to find the ones that work best for individual needs.
- Consider using a convex barrier instead of a flat wafer to prevent leaks, especially if the area around the stoma is higher than the stoma itself.
- Use a barrier ring directly on the skin before putting on the wafer to prevent leaks and ensure a comfortable fit.
- Consider trying different brands of rings, wipes, and adhesive removers to address potential allergic reactions.
- Use Eakin ring to heal the skin and alleviate itching caused by raw skin around the stoma.
- Consider using a two-inch Eakin Seal or a 4-inch Eakin Seal to mold around the stoma and prevent leaks.
- Ensure the pouch is warm before applying to activate the adhesive and consider using a hairdryer for this purpose.
- Seek support from a stoma nurse and be patient as it may take time and experimentation to find the right products and techniques for individual needs.
