Using a novel breathable silicone adhesive (Sil2 technology) in stoma appliances to improve peristomal skin health: answering the key questions

Br J Nurs. 2021 Mar 24;30(Sup6a):S19-S24. doi: 10.12968/bjon.2021.30.Sup6a.S19.ABSTRACTFiona Le Ber answers some of the questions that stoma care nurses may have regarding this novel silicone adhesive based technology, which helps to avoid medical adhesive related skin injury (MARSI) and moisture-associated skin damage (MASD). Whereas hydrocolloid stoma appliances absorb moisture, this has a non-absorptive method of moisture management that prevents peristomal skin becoming damp and excoriated.PMID:37733641 | DOI:10.12968/bjon.2021.30.Sup6a.S19
