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?

Protection against pouch leakage
Provide absorbancy
Extend pouch weartime
Provide “soft” convexity for flush or retracted stomas (but not to substitute convex pouches)
Use with high output stomas/fistulae

Eakin Cohesive® Seals and Skin Barriers can be used for skin protection as:

An ostomy seal for ileostomies, colostomies, and urostomies
An external packing agent on uneven skin
A sealing agent around wounds, fistulas, and surgical drains

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Do not use to cover broken skin or open wounds. Eakin Cohesive® Seals or Skin Barriers should not be used on individuals who are sensitive to or who have developed a sensitivity or allergic reaction to the product.

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.

Eakin Cohesive Seals — Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the 839002, 839005, 839001, and 839006 Eakin products? The 839002 (Small) and 839001 (Large) are both thick barrier rings, 2" and 4" diameter respectively. The 839005 Eakin Slim is the same 2" diameter as the 839002 but thinner. The 839006 StomaWrap is a different form factor — a wrap rather than a ring. Choose based on the diameter you need around your stoma and how much thickness/fill your skin contour requires.

How do I know if I need a Small or Large seal? Diameter is the deciding factor: the small (839002) is 2" and the large (839001) is 4". A larger diameter gives more coverage for bigger irregularities around the stoma or a larger pouching system opening.

Is the 839002 the thick or thin version? Thick. If you want a thinner profile, the 839005 Eakin Slim uses the same 2" diameter with less thickness.

Can Eakin Cohesive Seals be used on broken skin or open wounds? No. Per the manufacturer's instructions, they should not be used to cover broken skin or open wounds, and should not be used by anyone with a known sensitivity or allergic reaction to the product.

How many seals come in a box? 20 per box for the 839002 (Small).

Do I use this instead of a skin barrier/wafer, or with one? With one. Eakin Cohesive Seals are used together with your existing ostomy pouching system and skin barrier, not as a substitute for it.

Is this product covered by insurance? The 839002 carries HCPCS code A4385, which many insurers and Medicare use for this category of ostomy accessory. Coverage depends on your specific plan — check with your insurer directly.

Do you offer free shipping? Yes — free ground shipping within the contiguous United States on orders over $100.
