Dermacol

No, but I have heard about them on a couple of sites psoted by folks in Europe and the UK. How did you get the sample? I thought they were by Salts in the UK and not through any distributors here in the US. The prducts looks great with the flat barrier and the sides going up the stoma which is where most of us get leaks and have red skin b/c of the paste rings breaking down or coming loose! Why the main three ostomy players in the US have not develpoed anything like this great is sad. I am guessing if it works the way it should they would not sell any more paste or barrrier rings!

I emailed them, they got right back to me and said they would be happy to send me some, If I wanted to purchase more I could do it directly through them until they get US distribution.

That looks sort of awesome. I hope it works!

HAve you tried the Dermacol yet? I am going to get sample too.

Just received the samples today. They sent a ton of stuff that I was not expecting.

I have a couple of 4 day weekends around the xmas and new year holidays. I plan on trying it then so I wont be stuck at work if something goes bad.

Will keep you updated.

I started using the samples.
My normal setup is a coloplast 2pc Sensura system. Lite Convex. Using a small amount of their strip paste. I usually get 4 days wear time.
I tried a dermacol sample with that setup. It lasted 3 days and I started having itching. I think I didn’t have a good fit. The dermacol, which is essentially a barrier ring with a collar on top of it plus the lite convex wafer gave it too much convexity.
I just changed to a flat wafer along with the dermacol, hoping it will be a better fit.
My goal is to get to a week wear time.
Will keep this adventure updated.

I tried these a few months ago and found they served like a funnel to direct the waste right down to my skin through the little gaps.

I was really hoping they would work, but no luck here.

mom3panda, Same issue here.. I tried it 3 times and couldn't get past 3 days. same problem you had waste funneling down an getting right around the base of the stoma and frying the skin, even after running a thin rope of eakin around the base.

They sent a ton of samples and other stuff, I feel kinda bad, but it didn't seem to work for me.
