Convexity
Convex products are available as either one-piece or two-piece products. Soft convexity applies light pressure to the area around the stoma and, as a result, pushes the stoma outwards, reducing the risk of leaks. A stoma support belt can also be used with these convex products, for extra security. These products should only be used on the recommendation of a qualified Stoma Care Nurse. People with a stoma who are using convex products should be reviewed annually.

These are used to fill creases and dips, extend wear-time and to help provide additional peristomal skin protection. These Mouldable Seals are suitable for any make or style of pouch and all stoma types and are very easy to mould, shape to fit and place in position (and no need to warm). The seals can easily be broken into smaller pieces, if required and are skin-friendly, with no sting, and will adhere to wet skin.

Salts Mouldable Seals with Aloe are extremely mouldable seals. They help to prevent leaks that cause sore skin by moulding to the exact shape and size of your stoma. Following the contours of the abdomen to help create a customised, comfortable, leak-resistant seal, Salts Mouldable Seals with Aloe are infused with extracts of Aloe Vera to create a skin-friendly ring that may help protect the skin from redness and irritation. Helping to extend wear-time, Salts Mouldable Seals with Aloe are ideal for people living with a colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy.

A measuring tool is available from help@salts.co.uk

Barrier Films/Wipes
Impregnated protective wipes or foam applicators are used on peristomal skin which is broken, sore or weepy. NB: Creams are not recommended in place of wipes as they reduce adhesion.
Stoma Paste
Stoma pastes are used to fill in defects around the stoma when the person with the stoma experiences difficulties in obtaining a seal due to creases or dips in the skin being present.
