      Why ARC Matters for You

      Maintaining healthy peristomal skin is essential for comfort, confidence, and avoiding complications. Our simple ARC routine—Apply, Remove, Check—is the cornerstone of effective stoma care. With the right technique, you can protect your skin around stoma and make your ostomy system or appliance more secure and reliable.

      What You’ll Learn in This Guide

      Apply

      • How to prepare peristomal skin correctly—clean, dry, and free of moisture.
      • Tips for precise cutting and fitting so the baseplate fits snugly—not too tight or loose.
      • Recommended use of barrier rings or seals and paste to improve sealing.

      Remove

      • Learn the gentle “push-pull” removal method to protect delicate skin.
      • Understand how to safely remove baseplate adhesive.

      Check

      • See how to inspect your skin and used baseplate for early signals of trouble—like redness, erosion or leaks.
      • Learn when early changes mean it’s time to change your ostomy barrier or baseplate more often.
