Peristomal Skin Care Principles

Empty pouch when 1/3 full, otherwise pouch may overfill and cause leaks.

If pouch leakage is not caused by overfilling, assess skin care products.  Oily soaps or wet prepping agents may interfere with adherence.

Limit use of adhesives/additional tape.

Check product capability example skin sealants/adhesive removers.  Make sure they are not interfering with adherence.
