ConvaTec’s SUR-FIT Natura ostomy system is a popular ostomy appliance line with skin barriers and pouches bound by a plastic coupling system much like tupperware.  There is a ring on the skin barrier as well as the pouch that allows them to snap together for an audible confirmation that the two pieces are secured. Stomahesive skin barriers are a good choice for people whose stoma output is semi-formed to formed. This skin barrier is composed of a unique formula that enables the skin barrier to adhere to both dry and moist skin. It is gentle on skin yet holds firmly. If the skin around your stoma is uneven from scars, crevices, or indentations, you can use ConvaTec's Stomahesive Paste 183910.  Also, to provide added protection to the peristomal skin from output, you can try their Eakin Cohesive Seals 839002.

Preparation of the SUR-FIT Natura® Skin Barrier/Wafer

1. Measure your stoma using the measuring guide provided. Select a skin barrier with a flange (white ring) at least 1/2 inch larger than your stoma size. For flush or retracted stomas, convex skin barriers are recommended.
2. Trace the exact same stoma size onto the center white release paper on the back of the skin barrier.
3. Cut along the tracing with a curved scissor. *If using a pre-cut wafer, no cutting necessary. *ConvaTec skin barriers are available in Stomahesive® and Durahesive®, solid and flexible (white or tan collars) with or without convexity.
4. A caulking material, such as Stomahesive® Paste or an Eakin® Cohesive Seal, can be applied to the back of the skin barrier to further fill gaps between the wafer and the stoma. Allow the paste to set for one minute prior to application to the skin. (Do not spread the paste.)

Application of SUR-FIT Natura® Skin Barrier/Wafer

1. Center the skin barrier over the stoma.
2. Press the skin barrier against the skin. If using a tape bordered skin barrier, remove the remaining backing paper one side at a time.
3. During application, maintain gentle pressure on the skin barrier for 30 seconds to improve adhesion.
