Keeping your peristomal (around the stoma) skin healthy is important for your health and comfort; however, this skin can become irritated and infected if pouches leak, allowing urine or stool to come into contact with the skin.
A well-fitting baseplate is your best defence against skin complications. Baseplates provide the necessary wall between your skin and stoma output, allowing you to remain secure, comfortable and irritation-free.1
To ensure the best fit between your baseplate and stoma, make sure you monitor changes in your stoma's size and shape. As your stoma changes, you may need to adjust the size of your baseplate and pouching system, or switch to a new system or baseplate. Your stoma care nurse can help you set up a measuring routine and also assist with any necessary size or system changes.
