as:
• Following abdominal surgery with
stoma (ileostomy and colostomy)
• Following abdominal surgery in
stoma patients
• To facilitate scar healing

Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you
should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can
result in localised skin inflammation or
irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.
Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should provide
care to the adults and children, applying
the available information on the
measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line with
the information provided by the
manufacturer, and acting under their
own responsibility.
Fitting instructions
Please note that initial fitting should be
supervised by a qualified healthcare
professional.
• First, open both parts of the fastening
(Fig. 1) and the cover of the stoma
opening (Fig. 2).
• Wrap the binder around your body and
position the opening in the stoma area
(Fig. 3).
• Draw the upper right fastening side
over the left one, and stick them
together (Fig. 4).
• Now, close the lower right fastening
side too (Fig. 5). You can adjust the
tightness of the binder according to
your needs and level of pain by pulling
the fastening so that it overlaps more
or less.
• Pull your stoma bag through the
opening (Fig. 6) and close the cover of
the opening (Fig. 7).
• The fastening component with the sto-
ma opening can be removed by
detaching the hook-and-loop
fastenings on both sides so that it can
be cleaned easily (Fig. 8).
Tip: The opening for the stoma bag is on
the fastening component in a non-cen-
tral position. You can remove the
fastening component (Fig. 8) and turn it
180° (Fig. 9) to reposition the opening
for a better fit. Next, reconnect the
fastening component with the binder
again.
