Decrease the potential risk of stoma leakage
Stoma complications can occur within one month after surgery but also at a later stage.[1] Some of the contributing factors may be the stoma placement, its characteristics, fistula formation or a high liquid output.[1] When any of these obstacles arise, effluents may irritate the peristomal skin and even seep under the stoma wafer.[2] As a result, the adhesion of the device can be compromised, and the surrounding area may also be irritated.[3]
If your patient suffers from stoma leakage, a convex stoma appliance may solve the issue. You can determine whether it is suitable by assessing the type of stoma and the patient’s abdominal contours.
A convex ostomy bag system can possibly make the appliance adhere better to the surrounding skin to prevent stoma leakage, which is a frequent worry[4,5] for many ostomates. Convex ostomy bag systems are designed to[6,7,8,9]
The choice of soft convexity can bring additional advantages[8,9]
Depending on individual needs, you always have the option to choose between standard or soft convex stoma bags with deep or medium convexity. B. Braun has a whole range of convex options to suit your patients‘ needs. Find a good solution for each individual patient.
Gently sloping convexity is a feature of all 4 to 6 mm products. It was developed to provide better pressure distribution and to apply sufficient pressure around the stoma to shape and form the patient’s peristomal contours.
To create a higher sense of security, many users recommend the use of a stoma belt to intensify the effect of convexity. Three different attachment positions* allow the belt to match the preferred position of the bag on the abdomen.
Discover the new generation of soft convex stoma bags: Flexima® Active O' convex
“The Flexima® Active O’ convex has advantageously replaced the rigid convexity and offers a wider range of action. When convexity is needed, soft convexity is a good choice for me.”
“When I use Flexima® Active O’ convex, I can rely on softness and my patients' chances of being protected from leakage increase.”
“In my experience, this bag is particularly suitable for stomas that are flat or slightly retracted. Especially if the stool is liquid, this can be used to avoid leakage and thus peristomal skin irritation. I recommend the product especially for active and sporty people who will choose this appliance for its softness, which is a key criteria for their daily activities and quality of life.”
The flexible convex wafer allows flat stomas to protrude and to seal stomas in folds. It can even fill in small hollows while simultaneously limiting the peristomal pressure. Moreover, the flexible ring can create a seal around the stoma.
Moderate convexity of 4 mm can help make the stoma protrude.
Moderate convexity of 6 mm can help fill in medium to deep hollows and the folds in the skin.
Moderate convexity of 4 mm can help make the stoma protrude.
Deep convexity can help fill in deep hollows and skin folds.
