Ostomy barrier adhesion remains a challenge for anyone navigating post-ostomy surgery. Daily life can quickly become complicated when your stoma is not properly secured, leaving you to miss out on everyday tasks or important life events.
There are options, however, to help keep barrier adhesion secure and make for a more secure and comfortable fit. Brava Elastic Barrier Strips remains a solution that is well-equipped to enhance barrier security and work to reduce and prevent issues before they occur. Find the right fit for your ostomy patients and take the right steps to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for increased wear time with fewer challenges. Find product offerings that are suitable for body shapes of all sizes. Avoid skin allergies and find adhesive tapes that focus on extended comfort.
What Are Brava Elastic Barrier Strips?
Brava Elastic Barrier Strips are elastic adhesive strips that can be used around the edges of ostomy barriers, keeping them secure and preventing issues of lifting or rolling. Where traditional tape offers challenges, Brava Elastic Barrier Strips provide improved adhesion, acting as the perfect alternative, or even supplement to your current Ostomy system.
The Brava product also offers different variations, including curved, straight, y-shape, and XL offerings that can fit different body types and contours. Take your ostomy adhesion efforts to the next level and ensure ongoing comfort.
How Do Brava Elastic Barrier Strips Work?
Brava barrier strips work by securing the ostomy barrier edges directly to the skin, providing a secure and snug fit suitable for extended wear time. The product design can conform to the body’s movement, minimizing peeling and rolling, prioritizing comfort and secure fittings. They are capable of absorbing moisture while remaining friendly to many different skin types. The end result is a more comfortable ostomy system suitable for daily wear.
When Can Brava Ostomy Barrier Adhesion Strips Be Worn?
Anyone living with an ostomy system knows how hard it can be to complete basic movements without disrupting the system itself. Bending, reaching, and stretching have been known to cause barrier edges to lift. Brava Barrier Adhesion Strips address just that, helping patients move freely with more security, perfect for extended wear time.
For those who have experienced barrier edge lift, this product can help form a “security frame” around the barrier itself, while acting as a skin-friendly alternative to traditional tape. Try this product out if you have sensitive skin or have previously experienced adhesive tape allergies.
A Step-By-Step Guide For Usage & Application
Use these step-by-step Instructions for applying Brava Elastic Barrier Strips.
- Clean and dry the peristomal skin as you normally would.
- Apply your ostomy barrier/baseplate per normal routine.
- Place one or two elastic barrier strips around the edges of the barrier (like a picture frame), overlapping onto the skin.
- Press gently for several seconds to ensure adhesion.
Consider changing out the strips every time you change your skin barrier. Use the shape that best suits your barrier type, including curved for round or oval/round, straight for square, y-shape for deep lateral support, and extra large options for broad coverage.
Providing a Comfortable and Secure Fit For Ostomy Patients
Lifting or rolling of barriers or baseplates is highly uncomfortable, preventing patients from performing everyday movements. Instead, the enhanced security from Barava Elastic Barrier Strips can prevent this lifting or rolling, especially during movement. The comfort of a secure barrier is well worth the costs, helping patients move freely and prevent issues well before they ever occur.
The added benefit of moisture absorption and general elasticity helps people of all shapes and sizes live a more comfortable lifestyle while wearing an ostomy system. The increased adhesion also reduces the need for additional barrier changes, helping promote a life of comfort, rather than being focused on fixing barrier adhesion issues.
