Description

Supported by Hollister Incorporated

Remember when using convexity in the post-op period was taboo? For decades WOC nurses have had to rely on their own clinical knowledge and expertise when it came to using convexity in the immediate post-operative period because there was little evidence to support this practice. TODAY there is evidence that allows WOC nurses to be PROACTIVE in their practice and use convexity safely to support healthy peristomal skin regardless of when the stoma was created.

During this talk show style symposium, an acute care and home care WOC nurse, will look at the recent evidence around the use of convexity and discuss how they use soft convexity earlier in their patient’s journey to achieve positive outcomes and set their patients up for success from the start.
