Seeking Urostomy Pouches with Wider Adhesive Coverage

This topic is about finding the right urostomy pouches for someone whose stoma was placed in a challenging spot, specifically in a skin crease. This placement makes it hard for the adhesive to stick properly, leading to skin issues and the need for frequent changes. After many years of trying different products, the person is seeking pouches with wider adhesive coverage to help with these issues.

Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Consider the possibility of surgical relocation of the stoma. Many people believe that having a stoma in a crease is not ideal, and a more permanent solution might be necessary.

2. Before switching to a different brand of pouches, try using a larger wafer size. This can help increase the adhesive surface area and improve the fit.

3. Use wafer or extender strips, which are available from all major ostomy companies. These can help expand the adhesive area around the current wafer, providing better coverage.

4. Some have recommended trying Convatec Durahesive wafers, as they are known for their strong adhesion, especially on problematic skin.
