You will need a ConvaTec Wafer , A Stoma measuring guide, a pouch, a tail
closure, if yours is a drainable pouch, a stoma adhesive paste, a pencil,
curved scissors, two clean wash cloths, All Kare barrier remover, All Kare
barrier wipes and a mild soap.
If you are using a pre-cut wafer you will not need the stoma measuring guide,
the pencil or scissors.
Health care professionals recommend using the transparent pouch immediately
following surgery. This makes it easy for you see when the pouch is one-third
full
and ready for emptying.

As you gain experience you will find what works best for you. Being a
colostomate and a male I have my list of needs down to, a new Wafer, Stoma
Adhesive Paste, Stoma adhesive remover and a safety razor ( will explain
later). -- GMM
