Good Morning everybody and thank you for the info . I think I may have confused myself on what we are talking about with adhesive removers . Do you all use an actual adhesive ? I guess where I may be confused is that I don't use an actual adhesive but I do use a skin protectant that's what I try to remove with the wipes . Is the skin protectant I'm using (Hollister skin protector wipes) the same as you all are referring to as adhesive ? I do have spray on medical adhesive but only use that if barrier starts to come loose around edges . Hey Lad ( John) . A tin ? Think I know what ye mean though . You crack me up ! I know what ye are saying about the band aid leaving the stuff behind . Electrical tape band aids leave it too . Ha . Ok it won't work on the bald thing . But how about dish water blonde hair (gray) will it change it ? Lol Proctectomy , Ileostomy , Ulcerative Colitis Hi Robert, the remover is simply a spray or wipe which helps to loosen the adhesive of the flange/wafer. As Eric says its not an necessity but say ye have broken skin it can help make the removal easier. Here I should have said "Can" LOL. We do have some difference in meanings, you guys take the trash and put it in the trash can, we put the rubbish in the bin. ileostomy 31st August 1994 for Crohns Hey Robert, Sounds like we've got three different things being mentioned here: - Adhesive: this is something that most wafers already have on them and most ostomates would not need to add extra adhesive to it. But... there are adhesive sprays and wipes to help the wafer stick better. - Adhesive remover: Either in wipes or sprays, these products weaken the adhesives on your wafer so that it can come off easier and more cleanly (no residue left on your skin). - Skin protectant (also called barrier wipes or sprays) are sometimes used to protect the skin from irritation. Not necessary and may interfere with the adhesives on extended wear products. I actually go into detail about these three products in my Ostomy supplies series: https://www.veganostomy.ca/tag/ostomy-mini-guide/ Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate. Wow Thanks again Eric . Just watched a few of your videos on the mini guide . Now I wonder if I've been doing extra steps that are not needed by doing what little they did teach me in the hospital . I have been using powder and Hollister skin protectant wipes and remover wipes since surgery in 2016 . I may have to try the barrier (wafer) buy itself and see what happens . Will be gone for a few days but will try that and I will let you know . Hey Lad (John) Thanks for the reminder I need to get the rubbish bins to the street for the rubbish man ! Lol . Proctectomy , Ileostomy , Ulcerative Colitis Good luck, Robert! I love staring from the basics rather than using everything available! I hope you're able to get good results and probably save you time with each appliance change. Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate. Bonjour, Translated by admin: "Hello, When I left the Hospital I received a sample adhesive spray Hollister I am delighted and I find it very effective in two sprays! it's clear and no need to tug on the skin. In addition, it does not interfere at all with the holding of the new base! At home in Charente Maritime; it is a comfort accessory; he is therefore not reimbursed by social security. It costs 12.60 euros! the one I use since April 04 this year is still not finished and I still have some for a little while!" I use this spray on my Hollister wafer with a tape edge. I find that short blasts followed by running my finger as a sort of wedge between the tape edge and skin works well. By the time I get to the wafer enough of the spray has already begun to release the adhesive that it comes off fairly easily. I am going to start using the Brava brand due to cost. Have you ever tried Skinister Medical Adhesive and remover? Have you ever tried Skinister Medical Adhesive and remover? Hi Alyse, I have not heard of the brand, but that's not surprising as they might not sell their products here in Canada. Is this something you're looking at trying, or have you already tried those two products? I suspect the adhesive remover would work very similar to the Hollister adhesive remover, but I can't speak for the adhesive as it's not a product I'd normally use anyway. Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate. i work for a company, that carries a medical adhesive that works like the hollister adhesive, if youre interested in sampling it i'd be happy to send something out to you. That's generous of you, @Alyse. I'm not having issues with my current appliance, so an adhesive wouldn't be something I'd use/need. If your company offers samples to the public, I'd be happy to add them to this page. Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate.

A ma sortie de l'Hospital j'ai reçu un échantillon spray adhésif Hollister j'en suis ravie et je le trouve très efficace en deux pulvérisations ! c'est clair nette et pas besoin de tirailler sur la peau. De plus il ne gêne pas du tout à la tenue du nouveau socle ! Chez nous en Charente maritime ; c'est un accessoire de confort ; il n'est donc pas remboursé par la sécurité sociale. Cela coûte 12,60 euros ! celui que j'utilise depuis le 04 avril de cette année n'est toujours pas fini et il m'en reste encore pour un petit moment !
