Hello all, I just learned that convatec now has a new eakin seal called Eakin freeseal versa. I'm allergic to the original eakin seal but the rep told me about these new ones they make, and they don't leave a gunky mess on you. They lift off one piece instead of leaving all that gunk on your skin like most rings, do. They are not silicone either. There's supposed to be amazing for liquid output as well and They are sending me a sample, so i'm very excited about this because i'm sick of the sticky mess. Maybe I won't be allergic to this one either. So I just thought I'd post this to let everyone know that there's a new barrier ring out there. Chelly, although I have never needed to use an Eakin seal, it’s good to hear when companies improve their products. I hope this works for you, and that it doesn’t cause an allergic reaction. I know you’ll let us know when you’ve tried it. Laurie Just a semicolon They lift off one piece instead of leaving all that gunk on your skin like most rings, do. They are not silicone either. I first thought, "it must be silicone", then you mentioned that it's not. Pretty cool! They really should update their site to make it clear what the differences are. They only mention that the versa is thick, and their "air" product is thin, but they say the same with their original Cohesive "slim" version, too. As Laurie said, if you try them, let us know how it goes! Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate. Hi, Ill definatly come back to give an update. They sent me 2 rings. If these workout lt may stop all this barrier ring getting eaten away from water and stool thing i have going on. I read they can hold up to 4 x water and do not make this sticky, soupy mess and come off in one piece.
