The Bao Health Skin Barrier Sheet is a hydrocolloid sheet designed to be used under an ostomy or urinary collection appliance. It serves as a protective layer for the peristomal skin (the skin around a stoma), helping to shield it from irritation. The sheet is formulated to absorb moisture, which helps to minimize the risk of skin maceration and provides a suitable surface for the application of an ostomy bag system.
Hydrocolloid Composition: Made of a skin-friendly hydrocolloid material that gently adheres to the skin and absorbs excess moisture to keep the area dry. Large Cut-to-Fit Design: The 20 cm x 20 cm sheet can be cut and shaped to create a custom fit around any size of stoma, providing tailored protection. Flexible Adhesion: The sheet is pliable and moves with the body, offering comfort while ensuring a secure base for an ostomy appliance.
Q: What is the primary purpose of the Bao Health Skin Barrier Sheet?
A: This skin barrier sheet is designed to be used under an ostomy barrier to protect the skin. It absorbs moisture, which helps to minimize the risk of skin maceration (softening and breaking down of the skin due to prolonged moisture exposure).
Q: Can this sheet be customized to fit my stoma?
A: Yes, the sheet can be cut to create a hole that fits the specific size and shape of your stoma before being applied to the skin.
Q: How is the skin barrier sheet applied?
A: First, ensure the skin around the stoma is clean and completely dry. You can then cut the sheet to the required size, remove the backing, and apply it to the skin before fitting your ostomy appliance over it.
Q: Is this product suitable for individuals with sensitive skin?
A: These types of protective sheets are generally designed to be skin-friendly to help manage irritation. Some formulations are hypoallergenic and breathable to reduce the likelihood of irritation.
Q: Should I consult a healthcare professional before using this product?
A: Yes, it is advisable to consult with a stoma care nurse or another healthcare professional if you are experiencing ongoing skin irritation or to determine if this product is the right solution for your specific needs.
Offers a protective layer for the skin around the stoma, shielding it from output and potential irritation. Aids in keeping the peristomal skin dry by absorbing moisture, reducing the likelihood of skin maceration. Creates a prepared surface for the secure attachment of a new ostomy or urostomy appliance. The flexible nature of the sheet allows for greater freedom of movement and comfort. Contributes to peace of mind by providing an additional layer of security against leakage.
Ensure the skin around the stoma is clean and completely dry before application. Measure the stoma and cut a hole in the barrier sheet to match the size and shape required. Peel the protective film from the adhesive side of the sheet. Carefully position the sheet over the stoma and press it firmly onto the skin, ensuring there are no creases. Proceed to apply your ostomy pouching system directly onto the barrier sheet as per its instructions.
