The main findings of the scientific research carried out by B.Braun in partnership with ostomy
professionals and the University of Compiegne highlight the importance of offering ostomy
the skin protector that best suits
their personal requirements. (1)
patients the opportunity to choose
The key factors that influence the choice of the skin protector are
the patient’s skin
type and physical activities.
With these requirements in mind, B.Braun has developed the Almarys complete solution
in order to offer the ultimate in security and skin protection
individual patient
adapted to each
needs.
The Almarys 1-piece range offers two different skin protectors with a unique bag design:
Almarys Optima and Almarys Quiet.
Almarys® Optima:
The Almarys Optima skin protector is composed of a special
formulation of equal parts of adhesive compounds and
hydrocolloids
●
It provides for an optimal balance
between adhesion and protection
Due to this “equilibrium”, Almarys Optima can be used on
the majority of skin types, as demonstrated
Almarys® Optima
in clinical trials. Moreover, it seemed to be especially suited
to patients who led a physically active lifestyle.
Almarys® Quiet
Almarys® Quiet:
Almarys Quiet skin protector has a higher hydrocolloid ratio
●
for a higher degree of skin protection
In clinical trials, this light, softer hydrocolloid skin protector was found to be particularly
suited for
dry, dehydrated skin (sensitive skin).
