    Convatec Moldable Technology™ has been shown to prevent peristomal skin complications in the majority of patients.¹ Moldable Technology is a multi-layer combination adhesive that is applied by rolling back instead of cutting. After application it gently rebounds to create snug seal around the stoma.² Eliminating the need for cutting, it provides a custom fit, securing the seal of the adhesive to the stoma, reducing the incidence of leakage. That means studies have shown: ✔️ Fewer peristomal skin complications post-operatively vs cut-to fit.³ ✔️ Reduced peristomal skin irritation.⁴ To request a free sample for a patient visit the following link: https://lnkd.in/eRDMBE9N ¹Clinical Summary: Osmose Study, Multinational Evaluation of the Peristomal Condition in New Ostomates Using Moldable Skin Barriers.

    According to the Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses Society, it is important to choose a skin barrier that is best suited to create a good seal and protect the peristomal skin, taking into account the consistency of the output. 1 Having pioneered hydrocolloid adhesive (HCA) technology more than 40 years ago, Convatec has seen it universally adopted as the standard of care for ostomates worldwide. 1 Now, we offer a variety of different HCA formulations to help facilitate the choice HCPs and patients require. 1 Stomahesive skin barriers: Ideal for ostomates whose stoma output is semi-formed or formed. It adheres gently, yet firmly, to both moist and dry skin Modified Stomahesive offers the same benefits within a gentler adhesive matrix Durahesive skin barriers are designed for people whose stoma output is mostly liquid. While other skin barriers can break down around liquid output, Durahesive barriers swell up to protect the stoma Moldable Technology™ is a multi-layer combination adhesive that is applied by rolling back instead of cutting.

    Shaping the Science ⚛️ As the usage of convex ostomy products increase, we are excited to present the effect of baseplate convexity on a stoma site: both depth and diameter affect location/magnitude of skin tension and fat compression. Our recent Finite Element Analysis study showed the importance of having an appropriate range of convexity products available and selecting an appropriate option for use based on the stoma type and condition of the peristomal skin.
