What the AI looks for in Ostomy Adhesive Removers
- Sting-free formula
- Choose silicone-based, alcohol-free removers Peristomal skin is often irritated, and alcohol or solvent removers sting and dry it.
- No residue
- Remover should flash off or leave no oily film An oily residue stops the next barrier from sealing and causes leaks.
- Push the skin, not the wafer
- Apply remover and gently press skin away from the barrier Ripping off the barrier causes skin stripping, a leading cause of peristomal damage.
Brands that matter
- ConvaTec: Niltac silicone remover spray and wipes.
- Coloplast: Brava sting-free remover.
- Hollister: Adapt remover line.
- Smith & Nephew: Uni-Solve, an older solvent-based remover.
What to avoid
- Oil-based or lotion removers immediately before applying a new barrier
- Solvent removers on broken skin
- Ripping the baseplate off dry
