1. Begin by cleansing the peristomal skin with mild soap and water (soaps should be free of oils and creams). Pat dry thoroughly. The skin should be free of any solvent or greasy substances.
2. Preparation of the Skin Barrier For skin barriers with pre-cut stoma openings: Select a pouching system with a pre-cut stoma opening the same size as the largest diameter of the stoma. Do not enlarge the pre-cut stoma opening.
3. Remove white release paper from the skin barrier. Leave the outer release paper on the tape collar in place.
4. A paste, such as Stomahesive Paste, can be applied to the back of the skin barrier to further fill gaps between the wafer and the stoma. Allow the paste to set for one minute prior to application to the skin. (Do not spread the paste.)

Place the pouching system gently in position over the stoma. Press the skin barrier against the skin, paying particular attention to the area closest to the stoma. During application, maintain gentle pressure on the skin barrier for 30 seconds to improve adhesion.

After the skin barrier is in place, remove one side of the release paper on the tape collar and smooth onto the skin, working from the center out to the edges. Repeat with the other side, making sure the tape is smooth and wrinkle free.

Use ActiveLife drainable products if you have a colostomy/ileostomy. For attachment of the tail clip, fold the bottom of the pouch over the tail clip only once. Press firmly on the center of the clip until it snaps securely closed.

Gently pull the skin barrier down, away from the skin, while supporting the adjacent skin with your other hand. ActiveLife stoma caps: Change as needed.

Note: For flush or retracted stomas, convex products are recommended to increase wearing time.

If desired, rinse only with tepid water.
