Stoma management support

Useful information for managing your stoma

If you have a stoma, you may sometimes find you experience problems such as skin irritation or leaking.

This is very common with up to 85% of ostomates experiencing some of these common problems.

This could be a result of your appliance technique or the bag not suiting your needs. Other times, a stoma management product can help resolve the problem. There are a number of types of stoma management products available which include:

Medical adhesive removers: these help to reduce the pain associated with the removal of stoma bag adhesives. Some medical adhesive removers, such as our LiftPlus® 360 Citrus, also are a combined adhesive remover and deodorant in one.
