      ab: The aim of the formation of a stoma is to improve health and quality of life for patients with intestinal or urinary tract disorders. However, complications can occur; in particular, leakage of faecal matter or urine can cause skin damage, resulting in pain and irritation, and reducing the ability of the stoma pouch to adhere to the skin (thus worsening the risk of leakage). Several methods are available to improve contact between skin and pouch to reduce leakage, such as adhesives, paste, seals, washers, tape and belts. Most recently, Dermacol® has been launched; this is a unique collar that fits over the stoma to prevent output coming into contact with skin. It can be used with different stoma sizes and shapes, it is soft, pliable and comfortable, and it gives patients confidence because it effectively reduces leakage, thus protecting the skin and preventing irritation and pain.
