This topic is about a person who accidentally nicked their stoma while changing their Coloplast SenSura Mio 2-piece pouch. They are concerned about whether they need medical attention and are looking for advice on how to care for the cut at home. Here are some helpful insights and advice:
1. If the bleeding has stopped, a minor cut on the stoma is usually not an emergency. Applying gentle pressure can often be enough to manage it.
2. It's generally not necessary to use topical antibiotics like Neosporin on a stoma. The stoma's surface is mucosal and remains moist, which is different from regular skin.
3. To protect the area and help it heal faster, you can use StomaHesive Powder. Sprinkle it over the cut, gently tap or blow off any excess, and repeat this process with each pouch change until the cut heals.
4. It's reassuring to know that small "pinch" injuries are quite common with two-piece click systems like the Coloplast SenSura Click and SenSura Mio. Most of these minor injuries heal without any complications.
