Clinical Investigation Exploring a Newly Developed Ostomy Baseplate.

Clinical Investigation Exploring a Newly Developed Ostomy Baseplate.

Peristomal skin complications (PSCs) are the predominant complication for people living with a stoma, which affect their quality of life negatively.

Among the main reasons for developing PSCs are that the peristomal skin is exposed to stomal output either due to leakage of output under the baseplate and/or imperfect cutting of the hole in the baseplate, and incorrect application creating a gap between the hole in the baseplate and the stoma.

To seal this gap, Coloplast has developed a new ostomy baseplate and the aim of the investigation is to explore the investigational device 's ability to help protect the peristomal skin.

• Has had the stoma for at least 90 days
• Has a stoma size less than 45mm in diameter
• Has experienced symptoms of peristomal skin complications such as itching, burning, or pain in the peristomal area within the last 14 days
• Has suitable peristomal skin area (assessed by investigator) to participate in investigation
• Is willing to refrain from analgesics within 24 hours before the test days
• Is willing to refrain from antihistamine within 96 hours before the test days
• Is willing to refrain from steroid treatment within 24 hours before the test days
