Frequently asked questions
Is this barrier good for retracted stomas?
Yes, it is specifically designed with built-in convexity to help push the stoma outward, making it an excellent choice for managing retracted, recessed, or flush stoma profiles.
Will this put pressure on my abdomen?
No, this barrier features an exclusive floating flange design. This allows you to attach your pouch without applying direct pressure to sensitive or healing abdominal areas.
How long does the adhesive last?
The FlexTend hydrocolloid material is engineered for extended wear. It provides superior resistance to erosion, keeping the skin protected from output for longer periods compared to standard barriers.
How do I know if this matches my pouch?
This barrier uses a red-coded system and has a 2¼ inch flange. It is designed to pair perfectly with any ostomy appliance system that is also red-coded and requires a 2¼ inch flange.
Is the stoma opening adjustable?
No, this specific model comes as a pre-cut 1¼ inch stoma opening. Please ensure this size aligns with your current stoma measurements before ordering.
How many barriers come in one box?
Each box contains 5 individual FlexTend Colostomy Barriers.
Does the barrier material irritate the skin?
The FlexTend hydrocolloid is designed to be skin-friendly while remaining robust. It creates a secure seal that prevents irritating discharge from reaching the surrounding skin, helping to maintain skin integrity.
What is the benefit of the FlexTend material?
FlexTend is a high-quality hydrocolloid material specifically formulated for extended-wear applications. Its main advantage is superior resistance to breakdown from liquid output, offering you greater security and comfort throughout the day.
Is this suitable for post-operative use?
Yes, thanks to the floating flange design, it is well-suited for post-operative patients as it avoids placing unnecessary pressure on tender or healing abdomen areas.
Can I trust the seal quality?
Yes, the barrier features a combination of a firm, secure convex ring for the stoma and a flexible adhesive border that contours to your body, ensuring a reliable and protective seal.
