Case Study Location
Sweden.
Patient
63 year old lady.
Type of Stoma
Colostomy in sigmoid colon formed in 2004 due to rectal cancer.
Before Dermacol
The stoma was in a deep fold and this lady was having constant leaks. She also had an underlying skin condition: psoriasis.
Products
The lady wears a two-piece convex flange, with the Dermacol collar fitted onto the flange before application to the body. She then lifts up the skin to see the stoma and applies the flange with the collar. Picture 5 shows that the collar is slightly too long for this stoma. However, it works. Then the pouch is applied, followed by a belt. This lady is now much more confident and wear time has increased to 3 or 4 days.
