Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice for better adhesion of an ostomy appliance on scar tissue around the stoma resulting from a stoma revision surgery.
Relevant Advice and Insights:
- Use a Hollister Adapt CeraRing around the stoma, cloth-like adhesive area around the flange, large half-moon barrier supports, and a belt for better adhesion.
- Consider using 3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film on the skin around the stoma and anywhere the wafer will be, Brava tube paste around the stoma, and Coloplast Sensura Mio Convex 2-piece click system.
- Try using a hairdryer's heat on the appliance after putting it on to melt the flange nicely to the skin.
- Look for alternatives such as Adapt medical adhesive spray, Nu Hope Adhesive Cement, Aloe rings, Dansac Tre Seal, Torbot products, and Urocare products for better adhesion on scar tissue.
- Be cautious with Nu Hope Adhesive Cement if you have sensitive skin, as there is a warning about it causing irritation.
