Is it normal for Coloplast wafer edges to lift slightly?

This topic is about someone who recently started using the Coloplast SenSura Mio Click 2-piece ostomy system. They noticed that the edges of the wafer are lifting slightly and are curious if this is a common experience with this product.

Here are some insights and advice from others who have used this system:

1. Many users have experienced the same issue with the wafer edges lifting slightly. In contrast, Hollister wafers with a cloth border tend to stay flatter.

2. Some people prefer Hollister systems because the soft cloth edge provides extra comfort and acts as an additional barrier against leaks.

3. One person mentioned that they only experienced lifting with Coloplast samples, not with their regular products.

4. To improve adhesion:
- Warm the SenSura Mio baseplate before applying it.
- After attaching, make sure to smooth the wafer firmly all the way to the edge.

5. If the lifting continues:
- Consider using an ostomy belt or barrier tape to secure the edges. Many users find this helps prevent separation even if the edges appear unstable.
- Reach out to Coloplast customer service to inquire about potential product defects, as they may offer more assistance than local distributors.

6. On the other hand, one user shared that their SenSura Mio Click edges never lift when they take the time to thoroughly smooth the wafer during application.
