This topic is about making the process of changing ostomy appliances more comfortable and pain-free by using adhesive remover wipes. The person who started the discussion found that using Coloplast adhesive remover wipes made a big difference in reducing the discomfort they experienced when changing their ostomy wafer. Here are some helpful tips and insights shared by others:
1. Adhesive remover options:
- Both wipes and sprays are effective for removing adhesive. The choice between them depends on personal preference and whether you use an additional barrier like Aqua Seal.
2. Using adhesive remover spray:
- Applying the spray from the top of the wafer can help it peel away on its own, providing a pain-free experience similar to using wipes.
3. Uni-Solve adhesive remover wipes:
- These wipes contain alcohol and a light oil, which effectively remove adhesive from both the wafer/faceplate and an Aqua Seal barrier.
- They are gentle on the skin but may leave an oily residue. It's a good idea to use a moist wipe afterward to clear the residue and then fan-dry the skin before applying a new wafer.
