Experience with Securpress for Stoma Care?

Topic Explanation
The discussion is about the use of SecurPress for stoma care. The original poster is seeking feedback on the effectiveness and convenience of using SecurPress, as they find the current method of securing the stoma with a gloved finger to be tedious.

Advice and Insights

- Alternative Tools:
- Some users have seen SecurPress online and are curious about its effectiveness.
- One user mentioned using a toilet paper roll as an alternative tool.

- StomaGenie and SecurPress Usage:
- A user detailed their experience with StomaGenie, which they use with every wafer change to clean around the stoma without worrying about stool leakage.
- They provided a step-by-step guide on how to use SecurPress with StomaGenie:
1. Place the StomaGenie over the stoma.
2. Slide the barrier ring down to the bottom of the StomaGenie.
3. Mold the wafer opening and slide the wafer down the StomaGenie above the barrier ring.
4. Slide the SecurPress down the StomaGenie on top of the wafer and press down.
5. Lift the StomaGenie along with the SecurPress off the stoma.
- If using a tape boundary around the wafer, it needs to be removed.
- The barrier ring may not hug the stoma closely due to the StomaGenie's size.

- Simplified Process Without Barrier Ring:
- For those not using a barrier ring or moldable barrier:
1. Place the StomaGenie over the stoma.
2. Slide the wafer over the StomaGenie.
3. Slide the SecurPress over the StomaGenie and press it down on the skin.
4. Remove the tape boundary from the wafer if present.
- The wafer opening needs to be slightly larger to fit over the StomaGenie.

- Using SecurPress Alone:
- If stool collection during wafer change is not a concern, SecurPress can be used alone to press down on the wafer once it is attached to the skin.
