Irritated or red skin can be caused by cleaning and/or appliance removal

The top layer of the skin can be broken down if the adhesive is removed roughly or too frequently, or if the skin is cleaned with harsh materials such as a rough sponge. See below for recommendations.

Quick and easy removal of adhesives

The adhesive remover that makes a difference

Brava Adhesive Remover lessens the chance of trauma on the skin by allowing easy removal of the baseplate and any leftover residue – without compromising the adhesion of the next product.

Adhesive remover is used to make the removal of your appliance easier.

The sting-free Brava® Adhesive Remover enables you to remove your baseplate and leftover residue easily. It doesn’t contain alcohol so it doesn’t sting or hurt the skin. It dries within seconds and does not affect further adhesion, leaving you ready to apply a new baseplate.

 

The Brava® Adhesive Remover comes as a spray and a convenient wipe. The gentle spray makes it easy to remove the baseplate, while the wipe gently removes any adhesive residues on the skin. The wipe is practical when outside of your home or travelling because of its size.

  • If the skin damage is in the outer rim it might help if you can shift the adhesive so it covers a slightly different area of the skin around the stoma each time. This can be done by repositioning the cut of the hole in the adhesive.
  • If you’re still experiencing problems despite following the two above action points, there are less sticky types of adhesives that might help you. Please call Consumer Care on 0800 783 1434 for further guidance.
