Results
The patient has had no leaks since using Dermacol. He is achieving a 24-to 48-hour wear time and is returning to a good level of confidence. His skin looks poor but is not sore. 1 Shows how stoma inverts. 2 Side view with Dermacol. 3 A front view with a slight nick in the side; without this, the faeces cannot escape if the stoma inverts (it does not leak with the nick). 4 & 5 Dermacol in place. 6 The skin, particularly around the stoma, has healed.
