SUR-FIT Natura Stomahesive Flexible Skin Barrier
SUR-FIT Natura® Flexible skin barrier/wafer has rounded edges for a more comfortable fit, low profile flange and split-release paper backing for easy application.
Available with a tan or white collar. Stomahesive skin barrier/wafers are ideal for people whose stoma output is semi-formed to formed stool.
How to Use Sur-Fit Natura System
Begin by cleansing the peristomal skin with mild soap and water (soaps should be free of oils and creams). Pat dry thoroughly. The skin should be free of any solvent or greasy substances.
Skin Barrier/Wafer Preparation 1. Measure the stoma size with the measuring guide provided. Select a skin barrier/wafer with a flange (white ring) that is at least 1/2” (13mm) larger than the widest diameter of the stoma. If this size is not available, go to the next larger flange size.
2. Trace the exact stoma size onto the center white release paper in the back of the skin barrier/wafer. The small starter hole should be in the center of your tracing.
Cut along the tracing with curved, short-blade scissors.For skin barriers/wafers with precut stoma opening: Select a skin barrier/wafer with a precut stoma opening the same size as the largest diameter of the stoma. Do not enlarge the precut stoma opening. Remove white release paper from the skin barrier/wafer. Leave the outer release paper on the tape collar in place.
3. Stomahesive Paste can be applied to the back of the skin barrier/wafer to further fill gaps between the skin barrier/wafer and the stoma. Allow the paste to set for one minute prior to application to the skin. (Do not spread the paste.)
Application of Sur-Fit Natura® Skin Barrier/Wafer 4. Place the skin barrier/wafer gently in position over the stoma. Press the skin barrier/wafer against the skin, paying particular attention to the area closest to the stoma.During application, maintain gentle pressure on the skin barrier/wafer for 30 seconds to improve adhesion.
5. After the center disc is in place, remove one side of the release paper on the tape collar and smooth onto the skin. Repeat with the other side, making sure the tape is smooth and wrinkle free.
Important: The Durahesive skin barrier/wafer will swell around the stoma, resulting in a “turtlenecking” effect. This is a normal function of the skin barrier/wafer and will not harm the stoma or prevent flow of urine or stool, even if the stoma is completely covered.
Attachment of the Sur-Fit Natura Pouch Make sure that the inner surfaces of the pouch are separated and that the pouch contains a small amount of air.
Position the pouch flange over the skin barrier/wafer flange. Gently press two fingers around the entire flange area starting at the bottom or 6 o’clock position and moving up on both sides of the flange to the top or 12 o’clock position. You will hear or feel a series of audible “clicks” as the system locks securely into place.

Simply snap pouch on to the skin barrier/wafer.
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. Make sure the tap on the pouch is closed before attaching pouch to skin barrier/wafer.
Pouch Removal To easily disconnect the skin barrier/wafer from the pouch, firmly pull downward on the pouch tab and lift the pouch off. Closed-end pouches provide quick, easy and discreet pouch changes. Remove the closed-end pouch, place it in a plastic baggie and discard it in the nearest trash can and/or in accordance with local disposal regulations. Do not flush the pouch in the toilet.
