Not all leaks
are visible.
Not all adhesives
are the same.
Leakage is often thought of as a visible pouch failure. But leakage can also occur under the baseplate, where it may go unnoticed while still affecting the skin.
Understanding how leakage happens, and how adhesives perform differently, can support more confident, preventative adhesive selection.
