Does anyone use barrier rings? What is the point of them?

I'm wondering if they cause leakage around the stoma site.

    Yes I use 

    Coloplast Brava Protective Seals

    It's the opposite they are supposed to help prevent leakages.

    The seal being Mouldable can be made to fit snuggly around your stoma before applying pouch.

    Maybe recheck your cutting size if you are having leaks.

  • I found putting the ring round the stoma quite fiddly and now stick it onto the bag first, as suggested by the stoma nurse. Perhaps I should go back to fitting it round the stoma first.

    Apologies should have come back to you sooner.

    I have never used the 8805 Adapt CeraRing (Barrier Rings) and I am unsure how much elasticity they have. I use Coloplast Brava Protective Seals which I can stretch over my stoma and it bounces back to fit snuggly round it.

    Many of the seals available can be cut into pieces and applied in sections round the stoma and rejoined to form a  complete seal round your stoma.

    It might be worthwhile trying a different type of seal to see if that would cure any leakages.

    Let me know how you get on.
