Three major precautions for professional stoma chassis leakage

How to prevent chassis leakage is a critical issue for many ostomy patients. Today, we will talk about this topic and provide you with professional-level solutions.

1. Cut the chassis size correctly

The dimensions of the chassis and the cutting dimensions are very important. Improper cutting will not only affect the use effect but may also cause leakage. Therefore, when cutting the chassis, be sure to use the correct gauges and tools to ensure accurate dimensions. In addition, the shape of the chassis must be adjusted according to personal conditions to make it fit better against the skin.


2. Choose the chassis that suits you

There are many types of stoma chassis on the market, with different materials and thicknesses. When choosing a chassis, you should choose a chassis that suits you according to your shape. There are convex, concave, and flat chassis styles. Secondly, you should choose a chassis with soft material and good breathability based on the sensitivity of your skin. Also, consider the adhesiveness of the chassis to ensure it adheres firmly to the skin.


3. Correct use of anti-leakage paste

Anti-leak paste is key to preventing chassis leaks. Before using the chassis, the anti-leakage paste should be evenly applied around the chassis and pressed in a spiral manner to ensure that the anti-leakage paste is tightly integrated with the skin. In addition, regularly check the integrity of the anti-leak paste. If it is found to be peeled off or damaged, it should be replenished in time.



Preventing stoma chassis leakage is not difficult. As long as you master the above three precautions, I believe every patient can handle it easily. Finally, I wish every ostomy patient a comfortable and confident life.
