Applications
-
Ostomy care: For colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy patients using a two-piece New Image™ system.
-
Recessed/flush stomas: Especially helpful when convexity is needed to reduce leakage risk.
Usage Guidelines
-
Preparation: Clean and dry peristomal skin thoroughly (avoid lotions/oils).
-
Application: Remove liner and center the pre-cut opening over the stoma. Press firmly to secure, then smooth the tape border edges.
-
Adhesion: Hold in place for ~30–60 seconds; body heat improves the seal.
-
Pouch attachment: Align the pouch flange and press until fully coupled (listen/feel for the secure lock).
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
-
Wear time: Change per clinician guidance or at the first sign of itching/burning or leakage.
-
Skin checks: Inspect peristomal skin at each change to catch irritation early.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from heat.
