Colo-Majic Liners® are easy to use. Their patented design features make inserting them into an empty pouch, removing and flushing very simple.
Helpful hint: always handle Colo-Majic Liners® with dry hands!
Preparing the Colo-Majic Liners® for use
If you’re concerned about gas build up, you will want to poke a few air holes into the shoulders on each side of the liner, outside the seals, below the narrow section of the liner. The seals are designed to allow air to pass upwards while preventing liquid from passing through the air holes. Using the pin provided, poke two or three holes on each side of the liner. You’re liner is now ready for use.
Helpful hint: You can create air holes in multiple liners together to save time. Simply stack the liners together like you would sheets of paper and poke through them.
Preparing your two piece ostomy pouching system for liner use
The ring seals that create the bond between the flange (or wafer) and the pouch, when new, can sometimes be stiff. After separating the ring seals several times, the rings tend to snap together with greater ease. To make snapping the ring seals together with the liner the first time easier, try adding a couple of very small drops of liquid hand soap in the groove of the ring seal on the pouch. You can use a Q-tip or a toothpick to work the drops around the entire circumference of the grooved ring seal.
Inserting the unused liner into the ostomy pouch
Step one: Squeeze the Colo-Majic Liner® and push it into the pouch opening
Helpful hint: to make this easier blow the pouch open with a little air prior to inserting the liner
Step two: Insert a couple of fingers into the Colo-Majic Liner® opening and evenly spread the liner inside the pouch
Helpful hint: you can also blow a little air into the liner to push it open inside the pouch
Step three: Spread the Colo-Majic Liner® opening around the pouch opening evenly and then seal the pouch to the flange ensuring about 1 inch of liner material is visible around the outside of the ring once seal is made
Helpful hint: always double check the ring is sealed properly between the pouch and the flange, especially when the flange is already applied to your skin
Removing the used liner from the ostomy pouch
Step one: Remove the pouch from the flange
Helpful hint: When the flange is attached to your abdomen, use one hand to apply firm pressure to the flange when separating the pouch to prevent lifting the flange off your skin
Step two: Grasp the liner from the edge and pull it together to seal contents inside the liner
Step three: Gently pull the liner and its content out of the pouch opening, deposit it into a toilet and flush
Helpful hint: if you’re worried about spillage, simply overturn the pouch into a toilet and let the contents and liner fall out on their own
Here’s a few more tips and tricks you can use to help you get the most out of your Colo-Majic Liners®.
