How to Avoid Leakage:
Folds or Creases:
If folds or creases develop in the skin, and leakage occurs along the crease, wafer pieces or ostomy paste can be used to build up the area in order to avoid leakage.
Peristomal Skin Irritation:
Pouches will not stick well to irritated skin.
Improper Pouch Angle:
If the pouch does not hang vertically, the weight of its contents can exert an uneven twisting pull on the wafer and cause leakage. Find the best angle based on individual body configuration.
