Application Instructions

To apply, the baseplate opening should be cut to fit the stoma size and shape, ensuring a snug fit. The adhesive side is then applied to clean, dry skin. The ostomy bag is attached using the lock ring mechanism until the 'click' is heard. For removal, the baseplate should be peeled downward slowly while holding the skin taut.
