Appeel® Sterile Medical Adhesive Remover
Helps to reduce trauma, risk of infection and pain during stoma bag removal
Appeel Sterile Medical Adhesive Remover facilitates the quick and easy removal of stoma bags from intact and injured skin in settings where a more sterile product is required.
Helps to reduce trauma, risk of infection and pain during stoma bag removal
The repeated application and removal of adhesive appliances like stoma bags can cause damage and result in stripping of the skin1 underneath and around the stoma pouch flange. This increases the possibility of pain, trauma and risk of secondary infection as loss of skin integrity impacts upon the skin’s normal barrier function, which in turn may expose the nerve endings in the superficial skin layers.
Use of Appeel Sterile helps to reduce these risks, by reducing skin stripping, maintaining skin integrity whilst assisting quick and easy stoma bag removal2. Suitable for environments where a more sterile product is required, Appeel Sterile can be used on both intact and injured skin – but patients interested in this product should consult their healthcare professional in the first instance and ask them to request a sample on their behalf. Patients interested in a Medical Adhesive Remover product for everyday home use may wish to sample Appeel Advance.

Excellent
I have been using the Appeel Sterile spray for over 3 years now and find it excellent for removing my stoma bag. It is also very good for keeping infection away from the stoma area.
