Best Supplemental Adhesive Brands for Ostomy Appliances?

When it comes to managing an ostomy, finding the right adhesive can make a big difference in comfort and confidence. If you're looking for supplemental adhesives to help keep your ostomy appliance in place or extend its wear time, here are some insights and tips from others who have been in your shoes:

1. Hollister Medical Adhesive Spray 7730 was a popular choice for applying to the cloth edge of the wafer, but it has been discontinued. Many are now seeking alternatives.

2. Pro-Bond prosthetic adhesive has been chosen by some after trying various brands. It performs well and comes with a brush that makes application easier and helps avoid the mess of aerosol sprays.

3. Applying ostomy paste around the cloth backing of the barrier has been a game-changer for some. One person found that it immediately stopped leaks on the right side and bottom of the wafer when other solutions didn't work.

4. "Picture-framing" with paper tape involves placing tape around all four sides of the barrier at each change, typically every 4-5 days. This method adds extra security and provides a visual cue for potential leaks. It's been a successful practice for over five years for some users.

These tips might help you find the right solution for your needs and give you peace of mind in your daily routine.
