Instructions for Use:
1
Preparing the skin
Wash your hands before starting the procedure.
Gently clean the peristomal area with lukewarm water. Avoid
ether, alcohol or any other topical product which could
interfere with base plate adhesion. Carefully dab dry the skin
with soft and non-shedding cloths.
2
Preparing the base plate
If you are using a Cut-To-Fit product, cut the central opening of
the hydrocolloid adhesive to the size of your stoma
with the help of the Stoma Guide. Do not cut beyond the
maximum possible diameter and make sure that there is always
a 2 to 3 mm margin around your stoma in order not to strangle
or hurt the stomal mucosa.
Note: Pre-Cut products are not intended to be cut out
3
Applying the base plate
Peel off the release. Apply the base plate around your stoma in a
way such that the 3 security knobs are located at the top (B). In
order to improve the adhesion, place hands over the base plate
to warm it up.

For drainable "Roll'Up" and "High Flow" pouches, close the
closure outlet:
Drainable "Roll'Up" pouches: Fold the extremity of the sleeve
n n
four times using the guides and fold the tab back. To seal
the outlet, make sure that the two self-fastening strips are
aligned, facing each other and apply pressure on all their
length (O).

For drainable "Uro" pouches, make sure that the tap is closed
