title: The management of abdominal wall stomata: skin protection, peristomal wound healing and support for the collecting bag. A multi-center study.
abstract: The specific properties of Stomahesive tested in 116 stomal and 20 fistulous patients render it really useful in stomatherapy where it increases the comfort of the patients: 1. it offers an excellent peristomal skin protection whatever the nature of the stoma or origin of the fistula; 2. it promotes rapid healing of skin lesions, even in ileostomy, transverse colostomy, ureterostomy and fistula patients; 3. it ensures an effective degree of impermeability; 4. it provides a large base for adhesion of the collecting bag; 5. it can be kept on for about 6 days in most cases; 6. The local tolerance is excellent (Acta chir. belg., 1977, 76, 533-537).
