Optimising Ostomy Care: Matching Clinical Assessment to Convexity Characteristics
Part of the Global Innovation Summit Series and accredited for CE, this webinar (June 11, 2025) focuses on practical implementation of convexity in clinical ostomy care. Featuring evidence-based insights, case studies, and hands-on demonstrations from a landmark international evaluation, the session is designed to enhance clinicians’ ability to effectively select convex appliances.
Key Highlights:
- Evidence-Based Foundation: Insights from a multisite international prospective product evaluation involving over 1,600 patient assessments across three countries—comparing convex characteristics among 33 soft convex products.
- Clinical Assessment Skills: Learn to assess stoma features, peristomal skin integrity, and abdominal contours, identifying candidates for convex appliances and avoiding contraindications.
- Case-Based Learning: Interactive scenarios from international ostomy specialists demonstrate real-world application—highlighting fitting strategies, troubleshooting leaks, and optimizing patient comfort.
- Hands-On Product Exploration: Demonstrations of soft convex products highlighting depth, gradient, shape, and flexibility, plus guidance on common fitting issues and documentation.
- Outcome Improvement & Education: Strategies for patient-centered education, monitoring cache leakage and MASD, integrating convexity into care protocols, and aligning with quality-improvement objectives.
