I'm new to this site, but my mother just had a cystectomy done on Feb 3 with an ileal conduit. So far, we have not found a pouch that stays securly to her body or prevents leakage. My sister and I have been changing the pouch daily because it isn't adhering. Even when it is sticking, urine is still seeping out onto her skin.
Our latest technicque is: adhesive remover, skin barrier protector, protective powder, skin barrier protector again, strip of pink tape below the stoma, and a stip of pink tape above the stoma, and spray wafer with adhesive , attach wafer, then the pouch, and tape the wafer on all four sides.
With all that, there is still leakage. She stayed dry during the day, but not at night.
We have used two differnt convatec brands, and we are waiting for an order by coloplast.
Please help! How do you find a pouch that works.
My mother is becoming very depressed because she continues to leak urine.
