ConvaTec Eakin Cohesive Ostomy Seal

More Information

• Preparation and Application:
  - Make sure the skin surrounding the stoma is clean, dry, and free from oils, creams, and/or soap residues.
  - Stretch to fit around the stoma. For some people, its easier to apply the Eakin Cohesive Seal directly to the skin. To apply the seal around your stoma, remove release paper from both sides of the seal and shape or stretch it to fit
  - The seal may be cut and rejoined to fit around difficult sites.
  - Then place the seal on your body and carefully mold it, making sure you have a snug fit around your stoma.
• Filling In Uneven Skin:
  - Fill in uneven areas. Some people need to fill in uneven peristomal skin to help prevent leakage.
  - To apply, remove the release paper from both sides of the seal, break the seal into smaller pieces, and roll or mold.
  - You can cut and rejoin the seal as necessary.
  - When the Eakin Cohesive Seal is shaped, press it into your skin. Once the seal is in contact with your skin, you can gently smooth it or mold it further and achieve a custom fit.
• Attaching your Pouching System:
  - Two-Piece System: If you have already placed the seal around your stoma, press the skin barrier to your skin and the seal, then apply your pouch to the skin barrier. If you have applied the seal directly to the skin barrier, apply the skin barrier to your skin, then apply your pouch.
  - One-Piece System: If you have already placed the seal around your stoma, apply your pouching system over the seal. If you have applied the seal to your system, attach the pouching system to your skin.

How do I remove the seal? Haley - 9/15/2014 8:10:58 AM

	Gently remove the ostomy pouch system by peeling from the body. Eakin Cohesive Seals or Skin Barriers will not harm the skin when being removed from the body. Residue can be removed from the skin by rolling and peeling. An emulsifying agent or medical adhesive remover can be used topically to remove tackiness from the body.

Make sure the skin is clean, dry, and free from any solvent or greasy substances.  Remove the release paper from both surfaces and gently mold, roll, stretch or compress the Eakin Cohesive Seals or Skin Barrier to any shape to fit the requirements of the patient’s body. Eakin Cohesive Seals or Skin Barrier may be cut and rejoined to fit around difficult sites. Gently apply to the skin with a little pressure and hold in place for about 30 seconds. Gently smooth the Eakin Cohesive Seals or Skin Barrier towards the base of the stoma, or the edge of the wound, fistula or drainage site to ensure a secure seal. Place the ostomy pouching system directly onto the surface of the Eakin Cohesive Seals or Skin Barrier and hold in place with gentle pressure until secure. Customer Care - 8/12/2014 11:41:11 PM
