腹部Stomaに対するVaricare System 2 Urostomyの使用経験

Abstract

Varicare(R) System 2 Urostomy is consisted of the dermal protective stomahesive flange, urostomy bag and a belt. This System 2 urostomy was used as skin barrier to 20 ostomists suffering from urine leakage and/or skin irritation around abdominal stoma under ileal or ileocecal conduit. The following results were obtained from this study: 1. Stomahesive (Varicare(R)) has proved effective in the prevention of skin excoriations around an abdominal stoma. 2. The wearing time of this System 2 varied between 4 and 11 days with a mean value of 6.1 days from all patients. 3. 95% of all patients estimated to continue using this System 2. 4. No side effects necessitating stop of the use was observed. Accordingly, it is expected that Varicare(R) System 2 Urostomy may be useful in managing the abdominal stoma as the potent skin barrier.
