Hi Everyone,
Apologies that this is technically not in the correct forum due to the condition that will be mentioned but I was hoping there would be people with similar experiences who could help.
My Father suffered acute kidney failure around 7 months ago due to his prostate cancer which resulted in him having a bilateral Nephrostomy.
Due to infections he has had to have the Nephrostomy bags that sit over the wound on the back. He did attempt the method whereby the pipes come out of the back into day bags on a belt but despite there being pipe guards on the back he repeatedly had trauma on the wounds that caused infections.
Whilst the back-fitted bags have helped with the infections, my Father is suffering from regular leaks from the bags as they keep peeling off his back, especially from the bottom end of the bags.
We have tried heating the bags adhesive (and the same goes for the additional hydrocolloid “half moons” we also add but still the leakages persist.
Any tips on how to prevent this as it’s really getting him down? I am hoping there is some form of “hack” that people use.
I have seen some people recommend "Convex" adhesive bags.
Thank you in advance.
