Is the adhesive on your stoma bag strong enough? How important is adhesion to you?
01 May, 2023
There are a wide variety of stoma bags available to choose from, with a whole set of features. But when given a choice, members of Colostomy UK rated adhesion as the most important factor when selecting a stoma bag.
Good level of adhesion can help reduce leakage and provide greater comfort thus giving you the peace of mind to live a life more ordinary.
NaturFit®: rated highly by Ostomates for its adhesion
NaturFit®, by Opus Healthcare, is our one-piece stoma bag range designed to fit comfortably to the contours and shape of your body. The oval hydrocolloid is not only gentle on the skin, but also soft and flexible for a comfortable fit. The hydrocolloid is designed using GRD® technology which minimises the gaps between the adhesive and skin, thus adhering to the skin and reducing the risk of leakage.
At Opus, we have undertaken feedback programmes to ensure NaturFit® meets the needs of ostomates.
NaturFit® has been highly rated for adhesion and comfort by new and experienced ostomates.
NaturFit® rated particularly high in adhesion with 82%* of experienced ostomates saying they were as good as or better than their current bag. 1
