Description
Stomahesive Skin Barrier Wafers provide reliable protection and adhesion for ostomy care applications. These 4x4 inch wafers feature advanced hydrocolloid technology that creates a secure seal while protecting peristomal skin from irritation and breakdown. ConvaTec's Stomahesive formula has been trusted by ostomy patients and healthcare professionals for decades. The wafers are designed to absorb moisture while maintaining adhesive integrity, extending wear time and improving patient comfort. Each wafer can be cut to fit various stoma sizes and shapes, providing customized protection. The gentle adhesive removes cleanly without causing skin trauma or residue buildup. These wafers are ideal for patients with colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies who require reliable skin protection. The hydrocolloid barrier swells when in contact with moisture, creating an effective seal that prevents leakage and odor. With 5 wafers per box, this package size is convenient for patient use while ensuring fresh product availability. The 4x4 size accommodates most adult ostomy applications and provides adequate adhesive surface for secure attachment.
Suggested Use
Clean and dry peristomal skin thoroughly. Remove protective backing from wafer. Cut opening to match stoma size, leaving 1/8 inch clearance. Apply wafer with gentle pressure, ensuring good adhesion around stoma. Replace when seal is compromised or as recommended by healthcare provider, typically every 3-7 days.
