Salts DC23 Dermacol Stoma Collar 21-23mm Box/5

Red, sore and itchy skin could be a thing of the past, thanks to a novel product from Salts Healthcare. Dermacol is a unique stoma collar that helps to provide a leakproof barrier around the base of the stoma, helping to prevent output from coming into contact with the skin. Our research into hydrocolloids is recognised by the British Skin Foundation. The hydrocolloid used for Dermacol has been specially selected to give a high tack/quick grab onto the skin, and to be very soft and flexible, without causing skin irritation. The washer has a clear release film, clearly marked with the product code, and includes a thumb tab for easy removal. Optimum Size And Height The exact height of the collar has been carefully selected, following extensive user assessments. Dermacol can be used on stomas that are very slightly oval (the difference between width and height should be no more than 6mm), but should be used with caution on retracted stomas. Soft and Flexible Collar Thin and flexible, the Dermacol stoma collar moves with the body as you bend, twist and turn, staying in contact with the stoma. The unique collar is made from Alphathane, a new patented polyurethane formulated to resist the output from ileostomies. The Dermacol collar is extremely soft and pliable. In fact, the collar stretches proportionately to three times its own diameter. This allows for normal peristaltic movement of the stoma. Easy Application There are two easy ways to use Dermacol, whether a one-piece pouch or a two-piece system is used. Dermacol can be attached to the skin first, then the pouch put on in the usual way. Or the collar can be attached to the pouch first (or attached to the flange first for two-piece users), then both fitted around the stoma. Dermacol is easy to remove and comes away with the pouch or flange when they are changed.
