Atos CareTips - Adhesives: The adhesive is not staying on all day

Welcome to Atos Medical's guide on achieving a secure and comfortable seal with your stoma adhesive. In this video, we provide insights, practical tips, and product recommendations to help you optimize your adhesive experience and maintain confidence throughout the day. An adhesive baseplate is the most common and preferred method for attaching a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) to your stoma. With various adhesives available, we understand that finding the right fit for your unique needs can be a process of trial and error. However, mastering the application and removal techniques allows you to enjoy a more comfortable seal that lasts longer. Obtaining a good seal not only enhances your voice projection but also contributes to your overall well-being. Numerous factors can affect the longevity of your seal, such as irregularly shaped or deeper-set stoma areas, climatic conditions (excessive sweating in warmer climates or dry skin in colder regions), frequent voice prosthesis usage, and skin recovery post-surgery or radiotherapy. Atos Medical recognizes that everyone's needs are different, so we aim to address common issues and offer tailored solutions. One of the most prevalent challenges users reports is the adhesive not staying on all day. We emphasize the significance of proper application and removal techniques to tackle this. We guide you through four fundamental steps to achieve a secure seal: 1. Begin by removing your baseplate using the Provox Adhesive Remover. Gently soak the adhesive, apply the remover under the edge, and use the provided wipe to remove it from the skin. 2. Cleanse the skin around your stoma using the Provox Cleaning Towel, soap, and water. This step ensures the removal of oil and adhesive residue, promoting better adhesion. Allow the skin to dry completely before proceeding. 3. Prepare the skin by applying the Provox Skin Barrier. This creates a protective layer and aids in optimal adhesion. Allow the skin around your stoma to dry for approximately one to two minutes. 4. Finally, align the adhesive's bottom ring with your stoma's lower lip. Gently warm the adhesive to activate the glue and improve its adherence. Massage the adhesive onto the skin, starting from the center and moving outward. If you utilize a voice prosthesis, wait at least five minutes before speaking to enhance adhesion. In addition to these essential steps, we provide valuable tips and tricks to maintain a reliable seal: If your adhesive doesn't fit properly, consider selecting an adhesive that best matches your stoma shape, skincare needs, and speaking requirements. Consult your clinician for guidance on other adhesive base plate troubleshooting options. If the edge of your adhesive lifts or consistently loosens in the same location, it may indicate mucus buildup. Check for mucous accumulation underneath the adhesive and address it accordingly. When changing your HME, hold the adhesive in place with two fingers to prevent it from loosening. Then, lift the edge of the HME as if you are opening a door. When your adhesive loosens due to coughing, remove the HME when you sense a cough coming on. After coughing, carefully clean any mucus between the adhesive and your skin. If the adhesive seal weakens during extended speaking or hands-free use, avoid speaking loudly or with excessive force. Consider using Provox Life Stability, Provox Silicone Glue, or Provox Skin Tac Wipe to enhance adhesion with your baseplate. Please get in touch with your clinician for further assistance if these tips don't yield the desired results.
