Case Study Location
Australia.
Patient
Male (age unknown).
Type of Stoma
Urostomy.
Before Dermacol
The patient experienced leakage and required frequent pouch changes. This was having a negative impact on his confidence and work.
Products
The patient tried Dermacol (DC35) with good success. His wear time increased from half a day to one day, and then to over 2 days.
When applying the seal, he stretched his skin to enable a flat surface for the seal to adhere to; he then applied Dermacol. He then used a convex pouch, and SecuPlast® Hydro to secure the top edge.
Two months later, the patient continues to use Dermacol.
