Urostomy pouch failures

The urostomy stoma is close to the incision site.

there is still seepage from the incision site and the seepage of body fluid causes the glue on every pouch tried to fail.

Is there an offset pouch that would move the pouch further away from the incision?

Is there a glue or a pouch with glue that will withstand the attack of the body fluids?

The ostomy nurse has tried every brand but all fail.

Hello arzena.
I make my own baseplates to suit my circumstances.
The glue I use is called 'Probond' and is designed for prosthetics. It is a very effective glue which could easily be applied to the 'normal' pouches.
Experimentation is the key to finding personal solutions to these sorts of problems. 
Once, I discussed my problem of the appliance leaking and dislodging with Dansac, who sent me some samples with a different, much stronger glue. The problem then became how to get the device off when I needed to. 
It was after that, I started to make my own baseplates. 

Best wishes

Bill

Hi Arzena can you cut hole for the stoma off center or more to one side to move the wafer/base plate away from the seepage?

Hi there .. where is your incision site is it midline incision? I have had to reconfiger how I do my bags due to my midline inch being left open to heal on its own. What brand do you use ? And are you covers the incision with any gauze ?

Had the same issue right after surgery...the way to go is the opposite...ensure fluids from the incision are correctly captured....change dressing multiple times a day, use absorbent type of dressings...

And lots of stoma powder until it stops seeping (for me it was 10 days post drainage extraction)

I think 'Happy' is on to something. There must be a type of dressing you can put on the incision to stop the the weeping. I'm thinking something like the Styptic Pencil men use for shaving cuts but without the sting. Something with a lot of Alum? Best
