    Do you have irritated or red skin that could be caused by cleaning and/or appliance removal?

    The top layer of the skin can be broken down if the barrier is removed roughly or too frequently, or if the skin is cleaned with harsh materials such as a rough sponge or washcloth.

    Adhesive remover is used to make the removal of your appliance easier.

    The sting-free Brava Adhesive Remover enables you to remove your barrier and leftover residue easily. It doesn’t contain alcohol, so it doesn’t sting or hurt the skin. It dries within seconds and does not affect further adhesion, leaving you ready to apply a new barrier.
     

    The Brava Adhesive Remover comes in two forms: a spray and a convenient wipe. The gentle spray makes it easy to remove the barrier, while the wipe gently removes adhesive residues left on the skin. The wipe's discreet packaging makes it practical for traveling or use on-the-go.

    • If the skin seems damaged around the outer edge of the area normally covered by your barrier, it may help to shift the barrier so it covers a slightly different area of the skin around the stoma each time. This can be done by cutting the stoma opening offset from center, using the starter hole as an outer edge.
    • If you’re still experiencing problems despite following the two above action points, there are less sticky types of adhesives that might help you. Please call Consumer Care at 1-877-858-2656 for further guidance.
