This discussion is about using the StomaGenie, a disposable capture cartridge, during ostomy appliance changes. The main focus is on how effective it is when used with one-piece versus two-piece systems. Here are some insights and advice shared by users:
- The person who started the conversation is curious if others have used the StomaGenie with either a one-piece or a two-piece ostomy system and how well it worked for them.
- They are particularly interested in whether the device can help their peristomal skin get some air during changes.
- Although they have already bought the StomaGenie, they find it a bit awkward to use when changing their bag.
- One user shared their experience with the StomaGenie while using a two-piece appliance and found it didn't work well for them. They noted that their stoma was partially retracted, which might have affected the seal.
- This user also mentioned that the device requires one hand to hold it in place, leaving only one hand free for the rest of the change, which made the process feel cumbersome.
