Clinical Application of Convexity: Translating New Science into Practice
Wednesday, June 11, 2025 | 1:00 pm EDT
Through case studies presented by experienced ostomy nurses from various regions, attendees will:
• Delve into scientific data comparing 33 different soft convex products and highlighting the variations in convex characteristics.
• Learn how to effectively match clinical assessment findings to key convex characteristics.
• Uncover valuable insights for enhancing patient care based on the outcomes of more than 1,600 evaluations of a new ostomy technology.
Understanding Convexity Characteristics: The Journey from Bench to Bedside
(Recording from January 23, 2024 live event)
During this webinar, you will learn about novel research which will help clinicians translate convex characteristics to clinical practice and product selection. This presentation will support clinicians across the care continuum better understand the characteristics of convexity as it relates to ostomy pouching systems.
Objectives:
- Describe the 5 characteristics of convexity
- Discuss 2 main considerations for the use of appropriate tension location in convex wafer selection
- Demonstrate the impact of convexity characteristics through finite element analysis comparing different convex wafers
- Identify clinical cases to translate characteristics to product selection
Presented by Dr. Tod Brindle, PhD, MSN, RN, ET, CWCN / Medical Affairs Director & Phil Gowans / R&D Project Manager from the Convatec Ostomy Care team.
