Ileostomy output is loose/liquid and when there are dips and crevices around the stoma or from using a poorly fitted appliance leaks occur. This causes irritation to the surrounding skin, making it red and sore. Small Eakin Cohesive® Seals are thicker than Eakin Slims (839005).

When should Small Eakin Cohesive® Seals be used?

How To Use Eakin Cohesive Rings

Make sure the surrounding skin is clean, dry, and free from any solvent or greasy substances.
Prepare the Eakin Seal by warming it between your hands before removing the white release paper.
Remove the release paper from both surfaces and gently mold, roll, stretch or compress the Eakin Cohesive® Seals or Skin Barrier to any shape to fit the requirements of the patient’s body. Eakin Cohesive® Seals or Skin Barrier may be cut and rejoined to fit around difficult sites.
Gently apply to the skin with a little pressure and hold in place for about 30 seconds.
Gently smooth the Eakin Cohesive® Seals or Skin Barrier towards the base of the stoma, or the edge of the wound, fistula or drainage site to ensure a secure seal.
Place the ostomy pouching system directly onto the surface of the Eakin Cohesive® Seals or Skin Barrier and hold in place with gentle pressure until secure (approximately 30 seconds).

How To Remove Eakin Cohesive Rings From A Stoma

Gently remove the ostomy pouch system by peeling from the body.
Eakin Cohesive® Seals or Skin Barriers will not harm the skin when being removed from the body. Residue can be removed from the skin by rolling and peeling.
An emulsifying agent or medical adhesive remover can be used topically to remove tackiness from the body.
