Ostomy Wafer

Ostomy Wafer: The Foundation for Secure and Healthy Ostomy Care

An Ostomy Wafer, also recognized as a flange or base plate, is a fundamental medical device engineered to securely and comfortably attach a collection pouch or bag to the skin of patients who have undergone ostomy surgery.

This essential ostomy skin barrier is a critical component of any ostomy system, meticulously designed to create a dependable, leak-proof seal around the stoma. Our wafers are crafted from advanced hydrocolloid materials, a specialized gel that forms a soft, flexible, and skin-friendly barrier. This innovative composition not only ensures a robust attachment but also actively protects the delicate peristomal skin from irritation or damage caused by stoma output, promoting optimal skin health and patient well-being. Available in various hydrocolloid types and sizes, our ostomy wafers offer tailored solutions for diverse patient needs.

Product Specifications

Type

Hydrocolloid Embedded Ostomy Wafer: Extended Wear and Superior Leak Protection

The Hydrocolloid Embedded ostomy wafer represents an advanced solution for secure and prolonged ostomy management. This type of wafer features a high-quality, long-lasting adhesive designed to remain securely on the skin for an extended duration, typically up to 5 to 7 days, significantly reducing the need for frequent changes.

Crafted from a specialized hydrocolloid material, this wafer possesses the unique ability to swell upon contact with moisture. This swelling action creates an extra layer of protective gel, effectively reinforcing the seal around the stoma and providing superior protection against leaks. This design is particularly beneficial for patients who require a consistently secure and reliable seal for extended periods, ensuring comfort and confidence throughout their daily activities.

Hydrocolloid Threaded Ostomy Wafer: Advanced Protection for High Output Stomas

The Hydrocolloid Threaded ostomy wafer is specifically engineered to deliver enhanced skin protection for patients experiencing high excretion volumes, particularly those who have undergone ileostomy and urostomy surgery.

These wafers are constructed from exceptionally soft and comfortable materials, combined with a durable, lasting adhesive, to ensure maximum patient comfort and security. The innovative threaded hydrocolloid technology allows the flanges to create an exceptionally effective seal around the stoma. This advanced design actively minimizes the risk of leakage and significantly reduces skin irritation, providing superior containment and promoting peristomal skin health for individuals with challenging stoma output.

Hydrocolloid with Non-woven Border Ostomy Wafer: Enhanced Security and Active Lifestyle Support

The Hydrocolloid with Non-woven Border ostomy wafer offers a sophisticated design that combines a hydrocolloid skin barrier for the inner ring with a durable non-woven adhesive tape for the outer ring. This strategic combination delivers an exceptionally secure and comfortable fit for the ostomy pouch.

Beyond its robust attachment, this wafer is equipped with an integrated leak guard, providing an additional layer of defense to effectively prevent any leakage. The non-woven border also contributes extra fixation, making this ostomy wafer an ideal and reliable choice for active individuals who require a long-lasting and consistently secure ostomy device during their daily routines.

Convex Ostomy Wafer: Optimized Seal for Challenging Stoma Contours

The Convex ostomy wafer is ingeniously designed with a distinct convex (outwardly curved) shape in its center, specifically engineered to proactively prevent leakage. This unique convexity plays a crucial role in creating a remarkably secure and tight seal around the stoma.

This design is especially beneficial for individuals with uneven or retracted stomas, where a flat wafer might struggle to achieve adequate contact. Crafted from soft and comfortable materials, the convex wafer not only ensures a reliable seal but also prioritizes the protection of sensitive peristomal skin, minimizing irritation and enhancing overall patient comfort.

Uses

Optimal Application of an Ostomy Wafer The correct application of an Ostomy Wafer, also known as an ostomy flange, is fundamental for secure and comfortable ostomy management. The procedure begins by meticulously cleansing the skin surrounding the stoma with warm water and a mild soap, followed by thorough drying to ensure optimal adhesion. Subsequently, the wafer is carefully positioned over the stoma, with diligent attention to smoothing out any wrinkles or air pockets to achieve a flush contact. A final verification for a secure fit and the absence of any leaks or skin irritation is crucial to confirm proper placement and ongoing patient comfort.

Proper Disposal of an Ostomy Wafer When it is time for the replacement of the ostomy device, the used wafer should be carefully removed by gently peeling it away from the skin. Both the used wafer and the attached pouch must then be disposed of in a designated waste bin, strictly adhering to local guidelines for medical waste disposal. This responsible disposal protocol is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing potential contamination.
