This topic is about someone who has been using Coloplast products for a long time and appreciates the new SenSura pouches for their cleanliness, especially for an ileostomy. However, they are experiencing skin irritation from the SenSura baseplate, which is causing sores. To manage this, they are alternating between different Coloplast systems.
Here are some helpful insights and advice:
1. If you experience irritation, try alternating between different brands or product lines. Switching between Coloplast SenSura, Coloplast Alterna, and possibly another brand like ConvaTec can give your skin a break and help it adjust to different adhesives.
2. Consider using a Coloplast night drainage bag for urostomy, as it has a secure connector that is less likely to come undone compared to other brands.
3. Be mindful of how climate affects your ostomy products. In hot and humid conditions, like those in Australia, adhesives might not last as long. Keep an eye on how long your products stay effective and adjust your changing routine or product choice as needed.
