    Do you have creases and folds that make it difficult to get a secure seal around your stoma?

    If the skin around your stoma has creases, folds, or other irregularities, it may make it difficult to get a secure seal around your stoma. It may also be more difficult to achieve consistent contact between the uneven skin surface and your ostomy barrier. Difficulty obtaining a proper seal can create a risk of leakage.

    Recommendations

    Brava® Protective Seal Brava® Protective Seal

    The Brava® Protective Seal creates a seal between the stoma and barrier and is designed to protect against leakage and protect the skin. The seal is also easy to shape to fit around your stoma, to apply and to remove from your skin.

    The Brava® Protective Seal has a new polymer formulation that is designed to protect against leakage and protect the skin, thereby providing dual protection. It is easy to shape so it fits snugly around the stoma and can be applied over the skin with dips, creases and folds. When it’s time to remove your barrier, the seal can be removed easily and cleanly, together with the barrier, leaving minimal residue behind.

    Brava® Belt for SenSura Mio Brava® Belt for SenSura Mio

    The Brava belt with four belt hooks is specially designed to work with SenSura Mio. 
    See more

    A belt is designed to provide extra security, particularly for someone using a convex barrier. It is used to keep the barrier in place – and pull a convex barrier even closer to the body, allowing the stoma to stick out. This can be particularly helpful if you find it challenging to get a pouching system that fits your body shape.

    The Brava Belt for SenSura Mio has four belt hooks, so it provides stable pressure across the entire barrier. It is made of soft, comfortable material in a neutral-gray color that optimizes discretion. A soft, cloth-covered tab won't dig in, and allows you to adjust the belt to fit to your body. Extended size options are available: standard (40 in) and XXL (61 in).

    The Brava Belt for SenSura Mio is designed to be attached to a SenSura Mio barrier that has built-in belt tabs - specifically any SenSura Mio Convex product or a SenSura Mio Click barrier (flat or convex). (Note: for any other barrier type, including SenSura or Assura, please use the regular Brava Belt)

    IMPORTANT! If you have any concerns – such as skin problems or how to use new products – you should always consult your ostomy nurse.
