Overcoming common issues you may face with your stoma
Stoma bag leakage
Leakage is a big concern for many people, so it is useful to find ways to prevent leakage.
Ballooning
Ballooning happens when there’s a build-up of gas in the stoma pouch, making it inflate like a balloon.
Skin irritation
Skin irritation around your stoma is usually caused by leakage from your ostomy pouch and the output from your stoma getting underneath the adhesive and onto your skin.
Pancaking
Pancaking is a kind of 'vacuum' where the inside of the pouch sticks to the stoma.

When you have a stoma you need to feel at ease and have total confidence in your pouching system. Our ostomy portfolio offers a range of innovative stoma pouches and supporting products that will help you to feel secure and live life to the full.
