Medical adhesive removers
For most ostomates, medical adhesive removers [MARs] are a vital part of a stoma care routine as they help protect the sensitive skin around the stoma from damage and irritation.
MARs are often used in the form of sprays or wipes and aim to minimise medical adhesive-related skin injury. If adhesive products are not removed properly then damage to your skin can occur, impacting your safety and quality of life.
How can they help?
Benefits of using medical adhesive removers include:
- Helping to reduce the pain associated with the removal of appliances, such as stoma pouches.
- Help to lift residue and reduce irritation, stinging, and dampening the skin area surrounding your stoma.
- Some can also provide a scent to help reduce odour.
As part of our opus® stoma management accessory range, we have a variety of medical adhesive removers to choose from:
