Securi-T Flat Wafers for Two-Piece Pouching Systems are adhesive skin barriers designed to stay in place while the ostomy pouch is snapped on and off as needed. Keeping the wafer on the skin and changing only the pouch can help reduce repeated adhesive removal and may lessen strain on the skin around the stoma.
Each wafer is supplied with an adhesive backing to create a seal around the stoma. Cut-to-fit options allow the opening to be shaped to individual stoma contours, while pre-cut options provide a fixed opening size. The final three digits of the product number indicate the flange size and the compatible pouch connection.
Advantages of using wafers in a two-piece system
With a two-piece pouching system, the wafer can remain attached for several days while pouches are changed more frequently. This approach can support skin protection compared with removing and replacing a one-piece system each time. Securi-T flat wafers also allow the pouch size to be changed as needed, such as using a smaller pouch for activities like swimming and a larger pouch overnight.
How to use and apply
- Clean the skin around the stoma with warm water and mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- For cut-to-fit wafers, use a guide to cut the center opening to the appropriate size and shape.
- Center the wafer opening over the stoma.
- Gently press the wafer onto the skin.
- Peel the paper backing from one side and smooth that side in place with the fingers.
- Repeat with the remaining side of the backing.
- Press firmly for 30 to 60 seconds to activate the adhesive.
- Attach the compatible pouch by snapping it onto the wafer flange.
How often to change a wafer
Change frequency depends on the wafer type and wear time recommended by the care team.
- Standard wear wafers are often changed every two to three days.
- Extended wear wafers are often changed at least every five to six days.
How to clean the wafer
Securi-T Two-Piece Pouching System Wafers typically do not require cleaning during normal use. If the wafer surface needs to be wiped, use warm water and a clean cloth to remove residue from the outer surface only. Discard or launder the cloth after use. Do not scrub the adhesive area, as this may affect wear time.
