Moist skin can cause the adhesive to detach from the skin

Adhesives are generally designed to manage moistness. However, extensive moistness from e.g. the stoma itself or perspiring may result in adhesive breakdown, ultimately resulting in leakage and skin irritation.

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.

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

  • When having issues with extensive moistness, the frequency with which the adhesive is changed has to be adapted accordingly. Click and learn what to look out for when changing your adhesive.
  • If the moistness is due to excessive perspiring, it may help to use a neutral anti-perspirant roll-on in the area to be covered by the adhesive.
  • It may help to use SenSura Mio adhesive where the advanced adhesive effectively absorbs moisture, ensuring a secure fit while protecting the skin from irritation.
