Creases and folds may cause the adhesive to stick poorly to the skin

Leakage as a result of poor contact between adhesive and the skin is typically caused by creases and folds or other irregularities in the area around the stoma that makes it difficult to obtain a proper seal.

Brava® Protective Seal Brava® Protective Seal

Brava® Protective Seal creates a seal between stoma and baseplate and is designed to protect against leakage and protect the skin. The seal is also easy to shape, apply and remove. Now there are new wide sizes available for more specific challenges such as deeper creases and folds.

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.

Brava® Paste Brava® Paste

The alcohol-free formulation is skin-friendly, has a skin friendly pH-level and does not sting. The durable paste is resistant to breaking down or dissolving, thus protects the skin against output to avoid breakdown of the skin.
