This topic is about the Eakin Cohesive StomaWrap, a new product designed to make sealing around larger stomas easier and more effective. The StomaWrap is already 44 mm in size, which means it requires only minimal stretching, helping to maintain its thickness and provide a better seal. Here are some helpful insights and advice from users who have tried it:
1. The StomaWrap is made from the same material as regular Eakin Cohesive rings but comes pre-opened and larger, making it easier to place around the stoma. However, its long-term performance is still being evaluated.
2. If you're interested in trying the StomaWrap, you can request free samples to see how well it fits your needs. More information and the product link can be found at: https://www.eakin.eu/new-product-launch-cohesive-stomawrap/
3. For those looking to prevent leaks, some users recommend using the ConvaTec SUR-FIT Natura Urostomy Pouch with Accuseal Tap, along with the Natura Moldable Durahesive Skin Barrier with an Acrylic Flexible Collar. This setup has reportedly extended wear time to 4–5 days, compared to 2–3 days with other systems.
4. Some users have noted that older Eakin rings could leave a residue that was hard to remove. There is interest in whether the StomaWrap is easier to clean off.
5. As a do-it-yourself option, some people cut a thin barrier ring and place it around the ileostomy before applying the main barrier. This can act as an inexpensive one-piece barrier extender.
