The Trio Genii Convex Ostomy Seals (Large 30-50mm) are a box of ten soft convex silicone ostomy seals for 30 - 50mm sized stomas. These silicone seals are ideal for anyone who finds creases or contours near their stoma cause their ostomy bag to leak.
What's Included?
- 10 x Genii Convex Ostomy Seals
Who Are the Genii Box of 10 Ostomy Seals For?
These convex silicone ostomy seals are designed to prevent skin irritation and pouch leakage for those with a stoma and ostomy bag. They are, therefore, perfect for anyone who has undergone:
- Colostomy
- Urostomy
- Ileostomy
These seals are particularly effective for anyone who finds that creases or contours near to their stoma allow their ostomy pouch to leak.
How Can the Genii Convex Silicone Seals Help?
These ostomy seals have been developed to provide the most easy, secure and hygienic ostomy pouch experience possible. Their silicone material holds a range of properties to facilitate this experience:
- Flexible and stretchy to offer a bespoke fit to your stoma
- Close conformity to fill in creases and contours
- Allows peristomal skin (the skin around your stoma) to breathe, minimising sweating and leakages
- Does not absorb moisture or waste to prevent the degradation of your seal
- Sticks to skin immediately for a quick and hygienic application
- Comes off in a single piece without leaving a residue or damaging skin
How Do These Seals Work?
The silicone of these ostomy seals naturally returns to shape meaning you can simply stretch them around your stoma and they will shrink in to form the perfect fit. This means you can minimise exposed skin within the seal to prevent skin irritation. The convex shape and greater width of these seals allows them to more closely follow creases and contours, further reducing the risk of leaks.
How Do the Genii Silicone Seals Differ from Other Stoma Seals?
Unlike conventional hydrocolloid seals, the silicone of these ostomy seals does not absorb moisture or body waste. This prevents them from breaking down in order to maximise your comfort and security, as well as the lifespan of your pouch.
The natural flexibility of this material also allows the Genii Silicone Convex Seals to be applied closely with minimal probing and moulding. Their convex shape adds to this effect by hugging creases and contours as closely as is possible.
Which Sizes Are Available?
There are two sizes of Genii Silicone Convex Seals Available:
Are These Seals Clean and Hygienic?
Yes, these seals are clean and hygienic. The Genii Silicone Ostomy Seals are designed to make your ostomy routine as clean, hygienic and discreet as is possible.
Will These Seals Prevent My Ostomy Pouch From Leaking?
These seals have been designed in the knowledge that your stoma is likely to be on a part of your body that is constantly moving and creasing. By not absorbing any moisture or body waste, and by minimising seal-related sweat around the stoma, they prevent the seal from degrading and leaking. Their flexible material should also maintain a firm seal in spite of movement or creasing.
The convex shape of these seals makes them an ideal solution for those who find other ostomy pouch seals do not fully prevent bodily waste from leaving the pouch through creases and contours in the skin.
Can I Use These Ostomy Seals at Night?
The Genii Silicone Convex Seals are designed to last the same amount of time as your pouch in order to keep its seal firm even at the most vulnerable times, such as when you are sleeping. These seals should give you security to sleep through the night without anxiety about your pouch leaking.
How Do I Apply the Genii Silicone Stoma Seals?
- Clean the skin around your stoma with warm water and dry completely
- Ease the seal out of its packet and remove gently with your thumb and forefinger
- Stretch the seal around your stoma, and release it so that it can return to shape
- Mould the seal to a close and perfect fit with your forefingers
- Gently attach your pouch onto the seal as normal
How Do I Remove the Ostomy Seal and Bag?
There is no need to change your standard routine when removing the ostomy seal and bag. When you remove your ostomy pouch the seal will come off in one piece, leaving no residue. This allows for a quick, easy and clean pouch change.
Do the Ostomy Seals Absorb Moisture?
The silicone of these seals does not absorb moisture or body waste from your bag. This has two key consequences: the first is that each seal remains hygienic until you need to remove the pouch. This reduces seepage to ensure your comfort and discretion.
The second is that the seal itself will not break down. This eliminates stickiness while minimising the risk of skin irritation. Since it holds firm for a longer period of time, this also maximises the wear time of bag.
