Description
Supported by ConvaTec Inc.
Peristomal skin health is a priority for promoting quality of life in persons with an ostomy. However, patients, caregivers, and staff can have challenges in sizing stoma apertures to fit oval, oblique, and irregularly shaped stomas with the risk of peristomal skin breakdown. This session will address how scissorless (shapeable) ostomy barrier can expedite care in selected settings (e.g., operating room, long-term care) while also discussing cost savings and improved patient outcomes in real-world utilization.
