Stoma face plate affixed part

Purpose: (1) Since there are few reports on the composition
of the skin where the stoma faceplate is to be applied,
measurement was attempted.
Methods: (1) The subjects were ostomates living in Japan,
and the conditions for selecting the subjects were
those who were not currently treating the skin around the
stoma, could come to the measurement site, and could
change the brace by themselves. The measurement items
were trans epidermal water loss, stratum corneum water
content, oil content, pH, and skin viscoelasticity, and the
portion corresponding to 0, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock on the
part where the face plate was attached was measured. The
control part was the unaffected skin at a position symmetrical
to the stoma.
