Effective Solutions for Stoma Leak Issues

This topic is about finding effective solutions for dealing with stoma leaks using the ConvaTec Moldable Durahesive System. The originator of the discussion shares their experience with this system, which has helped them stop persistent leaks. Here are some helpful insights and advice based on their experience:

1. The ConvaTec Sur-Fit system includes a moldable Durahesive skin barrier, also known as a moldable wafer, and a ConvaTec convex insert. The convex insert gently pushes the stoma outward, while the moldable wafer shapes itself snugly around the stoma, creating a secure seal.

2. This system is particularly useful for stomas that are flush with or slightly below the skin surface. The originator mentions that their stoma tends to "fall in," and this system has worked well for them.

3. If your stoma is positioned close to your belly button, you might need to cut a small slit in the outer adhesive patch of the wafer to accommodate the navel and improve the fit.

4. For added security, the originator almost always applies stoma paste along with the wafer and insert.

5. It's a good idea to request free samples from suppliers to test the system's compatibility with your needs before making a commitment.

6. The originator has recommended this setup to others, who have also found it effective in preventing leaks.

These insights could be helpful if you're experiencing similar issues and are considering trying a new system.
