Seeking Replacement for Hollister 7730 - Water-Resistant Adhesive

The topic at hand is about finding a suitable replacement for the Hollister 7730 Adapt Medical Adhesive Spray, which is being discontinued. This adhesive is crucial for keeping a stoma cap securely attached during activities like pool training and surf lifesaving. The replacement needs to be water-resistant, discreet, and latex-free due to a partner's allergy. Here are some insights and advice gathered from the discussion:

1. **Products Already Tried**:
- 3M “Pink” Tape: Found to be bulky, difficult to shape, and not water-resistant.
- Hollister Adapt Barrier Extenders: These peel off when wet, similar to the wafer.
- Nu-Hope Adhesive: Appears to be latex-based, making it unsuitable.
- Torbot Medical Adhesive, Product 375: Also latex-based.

2. **Current Trials and Considerations**:
- Samples of Dansac Tre Seals and Salts Aloe Rings are being tested.
- Convatec is providing a silicone skin-prep spray for trial.
- Uro-bond V silicone adhesive is under consideration.
- Inquiry made about the availability of Ten Aces Med spray in Australia.
- Still has about ten cans of 7730 but is seeking a long-term solution.

3. **Advice and Suggestions**:
- **Stock Up**: Confirmed that 7730 is being discontinued. It's advised to purchase as many cans as possible while they are still available.
- **New Product**: Ten Aces Med – Medical Adhesive Spray is reported to be a near-identical replacement and is available on platforms like eBay.
- **Alternative Products to Try**:
- Dansac Tre Seals and Dansac X-tra Strips: Request samples to test.
- Salts Healthcare Rings: Known for long wear, with some users getting 10–20 days of use.
- Generic hydrocolloid rings from various brands can provide additional security, especially when combined with a torso wrap for water activities.

4. **Supplier Recommendations**:
- Manfred Sauer UK Ltd: Offers multiple latex-based skin adhesives.
- Prosthetic Solutions Ltd: Provides Zeflosil Silicone Adhesive.
- Salts Healthcare: Offers a Latex Adhesive Solution.
- Technovent Ltd: G626 Probond Secure Adhesive, safe for direct skin application.

5. **Other Options**:
- Skinister silicone-based adhesive.
- Sookwang double-sided tape from Amazon, which can be cut to size and used as a temporary water-resistant backing.

6. **General Tips**:
- Test new adhesives in the shower before using them in open water.
- Combine a hydrocolloid ring or strip with a neoprene or fabric ostomy wrap for extra security during intense swimming.
- Always check the composition of adhesives to ensure they are latex-free, especially in latex-sensitive households.
