| Is It Always Necessary To Use A Skin Sealant On My Skin? | |||||||||||||||||
| Skin sealants such as SkinPrep by Smith & Nephew, Skin Gel Wipes by Hollister, ALLKare by ConvaTec and Bard Skin Protective film are available in different forms such as small wipes, sprays or applicator bottles. These products contain a plasticizing agent as their main ingredient and are used to provide a thin protective film to the skin surface. This film helps prevent injury to the surface layer of the skin during appliance removal. It also acts as a moisture barrier. For people with dry skin, the film actually improved appliance adhesion. Skin sealants also contain variable amounts of isopropyl alcohol. Because of the alcohol content of the sealant, burning and stinging often occur when the sealant is applied to damaged skin. Therefore, skin barrier powder should be used rather than a skin sealant on irritated skin. It is also important to know that skin sealants may not be recommended for use under certain skin barriers. The protective film may reduce the adherence of the barrier. via Chippewa Valley Assoc.iation & OAB Bulletin & Regina Ostomy News (Jan/Feb 2001) |

| SILLY STORY OF THE MONTH NOTED DOUGH BOY DIES Veteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh died yesterday. Severe yeast infection is blamed for shortening his life. Known to friends as Brown-n-Serve, Fresh was an avid gardener and tennis player. Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out including Mrs Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Aunt Jemima, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies and Skippy. The grave side was piled high with flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who "never knew how much he was kneaded." Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes, loafing around, and conned by those who buttered him up. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions. Fresh is survived by his second wife, a real tart. They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes. (Source: Pam Jones by e-mail via Anita Guns) Victoria - Island Ostomy News |
