Huge Leak

Hello.

I am also having bad leaking problems and can only use the bag for one day.

I realized that my hole in the stoma is sometimes at the bottom of the stoma. Since I have some prolapse issues I can't use a complete convex wafer, as it pushes out the top too much.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any half or partial convex wafers to help address the hole at the bottom of the stoma.

Thanks for any help you might provide.

Z

You can maybe try a barrier ring like an Eakin Seal to make your current bag (partially) convex. Just cut the seal and mold it to your wafer where you think you need it most. Might be worth calling up your local stoma nurse (if you have one) to see if they have any suggestions.
