Frequently asked questions
Is the convex barrier secure for flat or recessed stomas?
Yes, the convex barrier is specifically engineered to provide enhanced security and optimal adhesion for individuals with flat or recessed stomas.
Unlike a standard flat barrier, the convex design gently presses into the surrounding skin. This action helps the stoma protrude, ensuring a tighter, more reliable seal and significantly reducing the potential for leakage.
This system utilizes the integrated Pre-Cut Durahesive Skin Barrier within its one-piece structure, which promotes simplified and dependable stoma management.
