Abstract

Objectives: to carry out a systematic assessment of ostomy devices with one or two parts, corresponding to the product lines Moderma Flex and Conform 2 (of Hollister), in order to obtain accurate information on product benefits in terms of safety and comfort as well as identify possible areas for improvement.
Material and methods: prospective, observational, multicenter study including 1,018 ostomized patients assessing their degree of satisfaction with the use of the two new devices, Moderma Flex and Conform 2. The essential characteristics of an ostomy device were assessed. In relation to the adhesive application, removal, ad­herence, resistance, skin protection, flexibility and safety were assessed; and in relation to the collection bag, size and comfort were assessed.
Results: the study results have shown good performance of the two devices studied in relation to the evaluated parameters of both the adhesive and the collection bag. The peristomal skin of the 255 patients who began the study with the irritated area improved considerably, and in 48% the skin at study completion was intact. 95% of patients stated that they would continue using the device compared to 5% that not continue using it.
Conclusions: the results of this study in which patients used the two ostomy devices -Moderma Flex and Conform 2- show that overall satisfaction with the use of both devices was very positive. The use of these devices promotes the adaptation of the individual to activities of daily living and improves their quality of life, issues which, as many authors point out, should not be ignored in the recovery of these patients.
