Preliminary Study of Peel Force and Discomfort of Removal of Adhesive Barriers in Normal and Peristomal Skin
United States17 participantsStarted 2013-11
Plain-language summary
This purpose of this study is to look at three commercially available ostomy barriers on peristomal (around the stoma) skin. Repeated barrier application and removal over years causes changes to the skin that the investigators wish to investigate. The primary objective is to measure peel force on normal skin and peel force on peristomal skin, with the intent of determining if differences occur. The study hypotheses is that no differences exist.
