Product details

The colostomy bag is used in healthcare for patients who have undergone ostomy surgery. It protects against leaks.

Sizes: moldable flange 20-30 mm; 30-40 mm.

Instructions for use:

• Empty the contents of the ostomy bag;
• Carefully peel the old bag off the skin, starting from its top. You can use adhesive remover wipes or a drop of oil to make removal easier;
• Using gentle movements, wash the stoma and the skin around it with warm water and pH-neutral soap or baby soap, or with chamomile tea, using gauze swabs;
• Then dry the whole area with dry swabs or paper towels; DO NOT USE COTTON WOOL, as it leaves lint that can reduce the adhesion of the skin barrier; The materials used for cleansing do not need to be sterile, only very clean;
• Using the template (stoma measuring guide), check whether the stoma has changed in shape or size. If the shape is irregular, use a custom template;
• Without removing the protective film from the adhesive of the device, use scissors to cut the adhesive part of the bag to the measured shape of the stoma. Try to cut as close as possible to the shape of the stoma, no more than 3 mm wider than it;
• Remove the protective film from the adhesive surface, then apply the device to the skin, working from the bottom up. When applying the ostomy bag, the skin should be stretched as smooth as possible. If there are skin folds, use ostomy paste to create a smooth surface, then attach the ostomy bag.
