76%
of people with a stoma experience leakage under their baseplate at least once a month.**
The development of Brava® Supporting Products is driven by a specific clinical need for patients living with a stoma. Leakage and skin complications are the most common issues and have a negative impact on your patients’ quality of life*.
67%
of peristomal skin complications (PSCs) are caused by leakage.***
The key to preventing leakage and PSCs is the right fit which is the most critical prevention and treatment strategy.****
All patients with a stoma are different and so are their needs. For patients with complicated stomas such as loop stomas or scar tissue causing dips, deep folds or superficial creases in their peristomal skin, a more customised approach is needed. Creating a snug fit for a tighter seal between the stoma and baseplate is essential.

Long-lasting
Brava Protective Seal is durable. The formulation makes it resistant to the aggressive constituents of output, so it will not disintegrate or get broken down by the output that comes into contact with it. This makes the seal suitable for people with an ileostomy or urostomy. The seals balanced moisture absorption helps keeps the skin healthy and the ring intact for longer. When removed, it leaves minimal residue behind, making it easier to keep the skin area clean.

Personalised
Highly flexible and easy to shape, the ring is soft and follows body shapes and movements. When applying the ring, it can be moulded, ripped, and reshaped to create a personalised, tight seal around the stoma. Brava Protective Seal considers that people come in different shapes and sizes and with varying degrees of changes in their peristomal skin. The seal is compatible with all baseplates and comes in 12 different sizes and thicknesses, so your patients can find the right fit and seal for them.
