Suggestions for Medical Adhesives for Flanges?

Topic Explanation:
The discussion in the forum revolves around seeking recommendations for medical adhesives suitable for securing ostomy flanges. The original poster mentions a specific product, Adapt 7730, which is apparently hard to find, and is looking for alternative suggestions. The need for reliable adhesives is emphasized by the inconvenience of having to replace a flange after medical appointments.

Advice and Helpful Insights:
1. Prosthetic Adhesives:
- Consider using prosthetic adhesives as an alternative. One such recommended product is 'Probond', which is noted for its effectiveness and ease of application using a brush, providing better control compared to sprays. It is suitable for sensitive skin and has been used successfully for over a year without issues.

2. Hypafix Tape:
- Hypafix tape can be used to secure the edges of the barrier, particularly useful for active individuals or those who experience peeling during physical activities. It is reported to extend the wear time of the appliance to 5-7 days, offering a cost-effective solution with a roll lasting up to two years.

3. Skin Tac:
- Skin Tac adhesive is highly recommended for its strong hold, making it ideal for situations where frequent changes are not necessary. It effectively makes the skin tacky, ensuring a secure fit of the appliance.

4. Alternative Adhesive Sprays:
- Ten Aces Med offers a medical adhesive spray that is considered a direct replacement for Adapt 7730, matching its formulation and effectiveness. This product is available for purchase online, providing an accessible option for those seeking a similar product to 7730.

These suggestions provide a variety of options for different needs and preferences, addressing the challenge of finding a suitable adhesive for ostomy flanges.
