When away from home it can be a challenge to clean around the stoma

In situations where access to tap water and/or proper cleaning facilities are limited it can be a challenge to clean properly around the stoma.

IMPORTANT! If you have any concerns – such as skin problems or how to use new products – you should always consult your stoma care nurse.

  • The skin must be completely clean and dry in order to obtain optimal adhesion. Make sure you use a soft material to dap the moist away. If a hair dryer is available to you, this can also be used to dry the area around the stoma. Use it from a suitable distance and not too warm air. 
  • It can be a challenge to keep the skin dry during application if output is continuously coming out of the stoma. It might help to wrap a little gauze around the stoma while changing to absorb output.
