Technique Tips
An ostomy barrier ring applied to the base of the Wound Crown can be helpful in obtaining a good seal.
The ostomy barrier ring should intrude inside the device base so a narrow section of the ring can be seen when viewed from above.
Ostomy stoma paste can also be applied to the inside Wound Crown base to help obtain a secure seal.
