Frequently asked questions
Is this barrier ideal for liquid stoma output?
Yes, this Convatec Sur-Fit Natura Skin Barrier is specifically engineered for users whose stoma output is mostly liquid.
Its effectiveness is due to the unique Durahesive material technology, which actively adapts to liquid effluent to maintain a secure seal and protect the skin:
- Durahesive Protection: The barrier material is resistant to breakdown caused by liquid output.
- Active Sealing (Turtlenecking): Upon contact with liquid, the barrier swells slightly (a mechanism known as “turtlenecking”). This action creates a tighter, more reliable seal directly around the stoma.
- Enhanced Skin Protection: This process prevents output from leaking underneath the barrier, safeguarding the peristomal skin from irritation and breakdown.
Is the skin barrier water-resistant for activities like swimming?
Yes, the Convatec Sur-Fit Natura Durahesive Skin Barrier is designed for Water Resistant Adherence, ensuring it maintains a secure seal even when exposed to water. This allows users to comfortably participate in activities such as:
- Showering
- Bathing
- Swimming
A major advantage is that since this is a two-piece system, the barrier remains securely attached to the skin, allowing you to quickly change the ostomy pouch to suit your specific activity without disturbing the barrier’s adhesion.
Does the Durahesive material secure the seal?
Yes, the Durahesive barrier is specifically engineered to provide exceptional security for individuals with mostly liquid stoma output. It features a unique mechanism known as “turtlenecking”:
- The barrier swells slightly upon contact with liquid output.
- This swelling action reinforces the seal around the stoma.
- It actively protects the peristomal skin from moisture and potential breakdown, ensuring reliable and secure adherence.
Does the Natura Flange provide an audible, secure connection?
Yes, the Convatec Sur-Fit Natura Flange System is designed to ensure a secure and accurate connection between the skin barrier and the ostomy pouch.
This connection uses the SUR-FIT Natura system which confirms proper locking through:
- Audible Click: A distinct “click” sound is produced when the components snap together.
- Reliable Security: This auditory feedback gives the user confidence that the seal is complete, helping to prevent accidental disconnection or leaks.
Is the SUR-FIT Natura Flange click secure?
Yes, the SUR-FIT Natura Flange System is specifically engineered to provide users with assurance regarding their ostomy system connection. It features an audible confirmation mechanism.
When you attach the ostomy pouch (which is purchased separately) to this skin barrier, the system emits a distinct, audible click. This sound confirms that the closure is accurate and securely fastened every time.
This secure connection is vital for the two-piece system’s versatility, enabling you to change the pouch quickly for activities like showering, bathing, or swimming without disturbing the skin barrier’s reliable placement.
How does the Durahesive barrier protect skin?
The Durahesive barrier is specifically engineered to provide superior protection for users with mostly liquid stoma output.
Its unique protective mechanism involves the material adapting to the output:
- Durahesive Material: The barrier material is designed to interact with liquid stoma output.
- “Turtlenecking” Effect: When liquid output contacts the barrier, the material swells up around the stoma. This creates a tighter, protective seal that resembles a turtleneck, effectively preventing output from migrating beneath the barrier and safeguarding skin integrity.
Furthermore, this barrier offers water-resistant adhesion, ensuring the seal remains secure during activities like showering, bathing, or swimming.
Does the barrier offer precise sizing options?
Yes, the Convatec Sur-Fit Natura Two-Piece Durahesive Skin Barrier is designed to ensure a precise and customized fit, which is essential for the effectiveness of the Durahesive seal. You have two main options for fitting the stoma opening:
- Cut-to-Fit: This option provides maximum flexibility, allowing you to manually trim the barrier opening to the exact size and shape required for your specific stoma.
- Pre-Cut Options: If you prefer a ready-to-use barrier, a wide selection of pre-cut stoma openings is available, ranging from 1/2 inch up to 2 inches.
Are tape collar options available for secure wear?
Yes, the Convatec Sur-Fit Natura Two-Piece Durahesive Skin Barrier is available in configurations with a Tape Collar and without a Tape Collar.
This versatility allows you to choose the specific barrier design that best meets your requirements for secure adherence and comfort.
Does the two-piece system enable quick pouch changes?
Yes, the Convatec Sur-Fit Natura two-piece system is engineered for quick, convenient pouch changes.
This design allows you to detach and reattach a new pouch without removing the skin barrier from your skin, which helps preserve adhesion and speed up the process.
Key features that ensure a secure and efficient change include:
- SUR-FIT Natura Flange System: This coupling system provides an essential layer of security by signaling proper attachment. You will hear an audible “click” to confirm a dependable and accurate connection between the pouch and the skin barrier.
- Robust Adherence: The barrier maintains secure adhesion during water exposure, allowing confidence while showering, bathing, or swimming.
What colors is the skin barrier available in?
The Convatec Sur-Fit Natura Two-Piece Durahesive Skin Barrier pad is available in two color options:
- Tan
- White
These colors are offered across the many configurations available, including Cut-to-Fit and Pre-Cut styles, and options with or without a tape collar.
