Frequently asked questions
Does this barrier help with recessed stomas?
Yes, this product features built-in convexity. This design is specifically engineered to provide a gentle push, helping to encourage stoma protrusion for those with recessed, retracted, or flush stomas.
Is the material gentle on the skin?
Absolutely. The barrier is constructed from high-quality hydrocolloid material, which is well-regarded in ostomy care for its skin-friendly properties. It is designed to maintain a reliable seal while simultaneously protecting the peristomal skin from the damaging effects of output.
Does the floating flange increase comfort?
Yes, the Floating Flange technology is a major comfort feature. It is designed to eliminate direct pressure on the abdomen during pouch application, which is especially beneficial for patients in the post-operative stage who may have tender areas.
Can I customize the stoma opening size?
Yes, this is a trim-to-fit barrier. You can easily customize the opening to match your specific needs, accommodating stomas up to 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) in diameter for an optimal, secure fit.
Is this suitable for extended wear times?
It is specifically formulated as an extended-wear adhesive. It provides the durability needed to keep the barrier secure and protective over longer periods, giving you added peace of mind.
Is this compatible with the Red Code System?
Yes, this barrier is fully compatible with the Hollister Red Code System. It serves as a critical, high-performance base for any pouches matching that system.
What is the diameter of the flange?
This specific model features a 57 mm flange size, designed to provide a secure and stable connection with your corresponding ostomy pouch.
Is this product eligible for FSA spending?
Yes, this item is FSA eligible, making it a convenient choice for those using flexible spending accounts for medical supplies.
Are there markings to help with trimming?
Yes, the barrier includes a pre-marked guide on the flange. These markings clearly indicate measurements for 25 mm and 38 mm openings, taking the guesswork out of the trimming process.
What makes the adhesive tape special?
The adhesive tape is crafted for reliability and durability. By using an extended-wear adhesive formula, it ensures the barrier stays firmly in place, protecting the skin and preventing leaks even during active daily use.
