ActiveLife One-Piece Stoma Cap Cut-to-Fit with a comfort panel and filter

1. Measure the stoma size with the measuring guide provided. Trace the exact stoma size onto the center white release paper of the skin barrier. The small starter hole should be in the center of your tracing.
2. Important: Before cutting, separate the front and back panels to avoid cutting through the pouch. Make sure that the inner surfaces of the pouch are separated and that the pouch contains a small amount of air. Cut along the tracing with curved, short-blade scissors.
3. Cut the center hole the same size as the stoma, using the guideline on the release paper. Do not cut beyond the last line.
4. Remove white release paper from the skin barrier. Leave the outer release paper on the tape collar in place.
5. 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.)
   Application of ActiveLife®
   
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. ActiveLife® Durahesive® products: Important: The Durahesive wafer will swell around the stoma, resulting in a "turtlenecking' effect. This is a normal function of the wafer and will not harm the stoma or prevent flow of urine and stool, even if the stoma is competely covered.
   Removal of ActiveLife®
   
9. 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. Please refer to your healthcare professional or ConvaTec's Customer Interaction Center at 1-800-422-8811.
