The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation in peel force when peeling off a standard hydrocolloid adhesive strip and standard strata adhesive strip from peristomal skin compared to pre-stripped healthy abdominal skin in colostomists.

Peel Force
The peel force was measured with a tensile tester which measured the force needed to remove the the adhesive strip from the skin with a constant speed 304mm/min and a mean angel of 90 degrees. The peel force was measured on all participants in the flow module. However, sometimes the measurements failed and therefore did not provide a result. In example a wheel chair user was included and non of peel force measurements were succesful on the subject. The rest of the failed measurements were distributed randomly between the subjects.
