Description
Ostoform FLOWASSIST Flat Pre-Cut Baseplate
Ostoform has successfully integrated the FLOWASSIST technology into the baseplate of a 2-piece ostomy pouching system. The non-absorbent component “FLOWASSIST” protects the baseplate adhesive from excessive absorption and erosion.
Its directional spout guides stoma output into the pouch to help prevent leakage and provide enhanced skin protection.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT FOR?
For ostomy pouch users who:
- Experience leakage
- Suffer from peristomal skin complications
- Have flush, shallow or retracted stomas
- Have high-output, fluidic stomas
- Require extended wear time
- Need an alternative to a hard convex pouch
- Have a stoma opening that is not centered
Commonly Asked Questions
can i wear the ostoform 2-piece pouch simultaneously with the ostoform seal?
No. The Ostoform 2-piece pouch and Ostoform Seal cannot be worn simultaneously.
is the flowassist spout hard?
The FLOWASSIST Spout is made from a soft and flexible polymer to ensure comfort for the user.
Will people notice the flowassist spout?
The FLOWASSIST Spout is designed to be discreet. It will not cause the pouch to bulge.
Can i use the ostoform flowassist baseplate with other pouch brands?
The Ostoform FLOWASSIST baseplate is not compatible with other pouch brands.
Does the new baseplate work well with oval shaped stomas?
Yes, the Baseplate is designed to work with oval shaped stomas. The user should cut the opening as close to the stoma size and shape as possible, while not cutting the FLOWASSIST spout. Accessories such as barrier sheets, paste, etc. can be used to fill any gaps.
How does flowassist help to protect the skin?
There is inner protection integrated in the baseplate where the Spout is located, from approximately 4 – 8 o’clock around the opening, which will protect the underlying hydrocolloid in this critical region.
What happens when i lie down?
Gravity will be the same for any ostomy appliance, however with Ostoform FLOWASSIST the non-absorbent piece will still protect the skin even when laying down.
