Here is a link to an article on how to use the Eakins Cohesive Seal (made by Convatec). It is sold by medical supply companies and is also on Amazon, Walmart, etc.

@susanf8 Thank you so much for this information. It sounds like something I could use as I have a lot of problems with my skin. I will definitely try it . Once again thank you so much.

@susanf8 Thanks for putting up that Convatec site. I've used the Eakin seals since the beginning according to how the nurse taught me, that is applying the ring directly to the flange and turtle-necking it, but I think putting it straight to the stoma, as the video shows might well be better.

I did not know about the Eakin StomaWrap variety of the seal. I could send for a free example. My hands don't work properly anymore. I suppose on the other hand, I could simply cut into a regular one and use it in the same way.
