How To Apply One-Piece MicroSkin Pouch
MicroSkin® is easy to apply! The MicroSkin barrier comes with a protective liner on both sides. The side strips allow you to handle the barrier without touching the adhesive. The outer liner frame provides stability during application and should be left on throughout the process, only to be removed in the last step.
Preparing The Barrier
To prepare the barrier for application, use the MicroSkin Stoma Measuring Guide to measure the size of your stoma. The correct stoma size is the size of the smallest hole that can be placed around the stoma without touching it. Enlarge the starter hole on the individual barrier to the correct size using a good pair of scissors.
STEP 1
Remove the circular release paper from the center of the MicroSkin or Washer.
STEP 2
Carefully remove the square liner to expose the adhesive plate.
STEP 3
Holding both vertical side strips, apply the barrier over the stoma, starting at the bottom, smoothing with your hands as you go to avoid wrinkles or air bubbles.
STEP 4
Remove the liner from the vertical side strips and press down onto skin. Apply gentle pressure over the entire barrier plate.
STEP 5
Remove the paper frame from the non-adhesive side of the barrier. Gently rub over the entire surface of the MicroSkin, focusing on the seal around your stoma to ensure the best possible adhesion.
