one-piece appliance
Last reviewed 01/2018
A one-piece collecting system for a stoma adheres directly to the skin. It incorporates a skin protective barrier which may be surrounded by an outer ring of hypoallergenic tape. Most one-piece appliances have a range of pre-cut openings that should fit snugly around the stoma, so protecting the peristomal skin. If the shape of the stoma is irregular, the flange may be cut to size.
Once used, the entire one-piece appliance is thrown away.
