Overview

Securi-T USA Ostomy Barriers and Seals protect the skin and help create a secure seal for your appliance. If a proper seal is not achieved with an ostomy pouch, it may lead to skin irritation and reduced appliance wear-time. It can create a cycle of skin irritation causing the seal to weaken, which then causes more irritation. While there are products to manage this, like Securi-T Ostomy Powder, the consensus is prevention over cure. That's where products like Securi-T hydrocolloid barrier strips (Securi-T USA 7200344), barriers (Securi-T USA 7200444), and 4-inch conformable seals (Securi-T USA 7900444) come into play. These products play a significant role in protecting the skin and properly adhering appliances to the user.

The strips protect the skin when placed under an appliance. They're also suitable for use over the appliance for better-securing appliances. They're a great alternative for individuals with allergies to tape. The strips come pre-sized and shaped for easy use and can be removed without hassle. The hydrocolloid barriers and seals offer skin protection by covering the areas around the stoma. This not only helps appliance adhesion by filling in uneven areas of skin around but also creates a barrier between skin and excretions. These seals and barriers are moldable, shapable, and can fit stomas regardless of size, skin condition, scars, or other variables. If you're not using a skin barrier, you're missing out on better-quality ostomy care.

Peristomal Skin Complication Prevention

Protecting peristomal skin is a priority for any ostomate. Healthy skin ensures a user will not experience irritation and can prolong the life of ostomy supplies. According to Dr. Kimberly Colibaseanu from the Mayo Clinic, applying a thin layer of a product like Montreal Skin Barrier Wipes can protect the skin from irritation and damage from both secretions and pouches alike. Keeping the skin clean between changes can also help. However, be aware that overwashing of the skin can reduce a flange's adherence, causing a leak. Also, measuring the stoma before cutting an opening for a flange will help ensure proper sealing. Because the stoma will change sizes naturally over time, using a dimension opening from the last change may not be accurate for the recent one. Measuring each time increases the likelihood of avoiding common skin complications experienced by ostomates.
