Application Card
Measure your stoma using the
measuring guide provided. Select a skin
barrier with a flange (white ring) at least
1/2 inch larger than your stoma size.
For flush or retracted stomas, convex
skin barriers are recommended.
1
Begin by cleansing the peristomal skin with mild soap and water (soaps should be free of oils, cream and aloe). Do not use
baby wipes. Pat dry thoroughly. The skin should be free of any solvent or greasy substances.
How to Use
SUR-FIT Natura
®
Two-Piece Pouching System*
Preparation of Skin Barrier/Wafer
Trace the exact same stoma size onto
the center white release paper on the
back of the skin barrier.
Cut along the tracing with a curved
scissor.
*If using a pre-cut wafer, no cutting
necessary.
*ConvaTec skin barriers are available in
Stomahesive
®
and Durahesive
®
, solid
and flexible (white or tan collars) with or
without convexity.
Application of Skin Barrier/Wafer
A caulking material, such as
Stomahesive
®
Paste or an Eakin
®
Cohesive Seal, 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.)
4
Center the skin barrier over the stoma.
Press the skin barrier against the skin.
If using a tape bordered skin barrier,
remove the remaining backing paper
one side at a time.
5
During application, maintain gentle
pressure on the skin barrier for 30
seconds to improve adhesion.
Before attaching the pouch, allow a
small amount of air to enter the pouch
by gently separating it.
If you are using a SUR-FIT Natura
®
drainable pouch with a clip, 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.
If you are using a SUR-FIT Natura
®
urostomy drainable pouch with a tap,
make sure the tap on the pouch is
closed before attaching pouch to wafer.
*If you are using the InvisiClose
®
tail
closure system, a clip-less system, see
the instructions for use on the back of
this page.

Attachment of Pouch
Removal of Pouch
To easily remove the pouch from the
skin barrier, gently pull downward on
the plastic pouch tab and lift the pouch
off. Anchor the wafer by holding it down
with your other hand.
SUR-FIT Natura
®
closed-end
pouches: Remove and discard as
needed. (Do not flush.)
Filter covers are waterproof and should
be used when bathing or swimming to
prevent the filter from becoming wet.
Remove filter cover after patting pouch
dry.
Removal of Skin Barrier/Wafer
Gently pull the skin barrier down, away
from the skin, while supporting the
adjacent skin with your other hand. To
assist with the barrier removal, an
AllKare
®
Adhesive Remover wipe may
be used to remove any adhesive
buildup.
