Guide and Tutorial: Using a Urostomy Pouch with One-Sided Bend
A urostomy pouch with a one-sided bend is designed to provide comfort and discretion for individuals who have undergone a urostomy procedure. This guide will walk you through the process of using and maintaining the "Urostomy Bend 1 Side 1 3/4"" pouch.
1. Preparing for Application:
- Ensure you have clean hands before handling the urostomy pouch.
- Gather all necessary supplies: urostomy pouch, skin barrier, adhesive remover, and cleaning wipes.
2. Preparing the Skin:
- Gently clean the skin around your urostomy site with warm water and a mild soap. Pat the area dry with a clean, soft towel.
- If using a skin barrier, apply it to the skin around the stoma site. This helps protect your skin from irritation caused by the adhesive.
3. Applying the Pouch:
- Hold the urostomy pouch by the flange (the plastic part that adheres to the skin).
- Remove the protective backing from the adhesive side of the flange.
4. Placing the Pouch:
- Carefully position the pouch over your urostomy stoma. Make sure the stoma is centered in the hole of the pouch's flange.
- Gently press down on the flange to secure it to your skin. Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles for a secure fit.
5. Emptying and Replacing:
- When the pouch is about one-third full, it's time to empty it. Empty the contents into a toilet or suitable container.
- Wipe the spout with a damp tissue or cleaning wipe to maintain cleanliness.
- If changing the pouch, carefully remove the used pouch and adhesive, then repeat steps 2-4 to apply a fresh pouch.
6. Maintaining Hygiene:
- Empty the pouch regularly to prevent leakage and discomfort.
- Clean the skin around the stoma with mild soap and water during pouch changes.
- Avoid using products containing alcohol, oil, or lotion around the stoma, as they can affect the adhesive.
7. Disposal:
- Dispose of used pouches in accordance with local medical waste disposal guidelines.
- Empty and rinse the pouch before disposing of it.
8. Troubleshooting:
- If you experience skin irritation or leaks, consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
- Experiment with different pouch sizes and types to find the best fit for your stoma shape and size.
9. Seeking Professional Assistance:
- If you have questions or concerns about using your urostomy pouch, reach out to your healthcare provider or an ostomy nurse for personalized advice.
Remember that urostomy pouches are available in various sizes, styles, and features to cater to different needs. It might take some time to find the pouch that suits you best, so be patient and seek professional advice if needed.
