Which users benefit from the convex barrier design?
The convex barrier design is crucial for individuals whose stoma profiles make sealing difficult with standard flat barriers. This design features an outward curve that provides gentle pressure on the surrounding skin to ensure a reliable, leak-proof seal.
It is specifically beneficial and recommended for wearers who have:

By helping the stoma protrude into the pouch, the convexity promotes efficient flow and protects the skin. This integrated system features a durable Durahesive Skin Barrier.
Is the convex barrier best for flat or recessed stomas?
Yes, the convex barrier design is specifically engineered to provide an optimal, secure seal for specific stoma profiles.
