The Brava® Protective Seal is designed to protect against leakage and protect the skin. It is based on a polymer formulation that provides dual protection. It is easy to shape so it fits snugly around the stoma and can be applied over skin with dips, creases and folds. Upon time of removal, it can be removed easily and cleanly, leaving minimal residue behind.

Regular Seals

For a better fit and improved protection against leakage for skin with dips, creases and folds.

Wide Seals

A greater surface area, for a better fit over skin with more challenges such as deeper creases and folds.

The seal fills in the gap between the stoma and baseplate and by filling in folds in the skin beneath the baseplate. A new polymer formulation makes it resistant to the aggressive constituents of output, so it will not disintegrate or get broken down by the output that comes into contact with it.

The new polymer formulation helps to maintain healthy skin in two distinct ways. Firstly, it absorbs moisture from the skin surface. Secondly, when removed, it leaves minimal residue behind. This makes the skin area easier to clean.

Brava® Protective Seal is easy to shape, so it fits snugly around the stoma and can be applied over skin with dips, creases and folds. The seal will stay firmly in place, but when the time comes for removal, it can be pulled cleanly and easily away from the skin.

IMPORTANT! If you have any concerns – such as skin problems or how to use new products – you should always consult your stoma care nurse.

  • As a general rule you should talk to your doctor to understand if there are any types of sexual activity you should avoid.
  • Firstly, keeping the bag clean and empty is a good idea. You may want to put a new bag on beforehand.
  • SenSura Mio bags feature a unique fabric that stays discreet under clothing of any colour and makes less noise, allowing ostomy patients to feel confident and enjoy intimate moments without concern.
  • Men might consider wearing a tank top that covers the bag or a cummerbund-type garment to help secure the bag.
  • If you are a woman, intimate apparel such as a chemise, a corsage, or a camisole can help you feel more confident as it covers your bag. Crotch-less underwear might also be an option to provide more support for the ostomy as your body moves.
  • Another product option is a bag cover that comes in an array of different colours and can help you feel more discreet.
  • For discretion, some people switch to an ostomy cap. Other people may switch to a smaller mini-pouch or a closed-end pouch. All of these choices are smaller, less bulky, and more discreet.
