Frequently asked questions
Does the floating flange help with abdominal comfort?
Yes, the floating flange system is specifically designed to minimize pressure on tender or post-operative abdomens. By allowing the pouching system to be attached without direct pressure on the abdominal wall, it provides a much more comfortable experience during recovery and daily activities.
Is the hydrocolloid material suitable for long-term wear?
Absolutely. This barrier is formulated with high-quality extended-wear hydrocolloid material. It is engineered to maintain a reliable seal and protect the skin from irritating discharge over longer periods compared to standard barriers.
How do I know the pouch is securely locked?
The system features a patented locking mechanism that provides both tactile and audible feedback. You will hear an audible click when the pouch is properly locked onto the flange, giving you total peace of mind that the connection is secure.
Is this barrier part of the color-coded system?
Yes, this product is part of the Green Code System. This ensures that you can easily match it with other compatible ostomy components within that same system for a seamless fit.
Does the adhesive tape provide a reliable seal?
Yes, the barrier features an integrated adhesive tape border that adds an extra layer of security. This helps keep the barrier firmly in place and reinforces the protective seal around the stoma.
Is this a flat or convex barrier?
This specific model (14702) features a flat depth design. It is crafted to maintain a low profile, making it discreet and comfortable to wear under your clothing.
Can I use this if I have sensitive post-surgical skin?
The barrier is specifically developed for professional-grade ostomy care, with the floating flange being a critical benefit for patients with sensitive or tender post-surgical sites. It helps protect delicate tissue by eliminating direct pressure on the abdomen.
Are there specific sizing requirements for the flange?
This product features a 44 mm flange size with a pre-cut 3/4 inch opening. Please ensure these measurements align with your current stoma size and existing pouching system components for a proper fit.
Does the material protect the skin from discharge?
Yes. The advanced hydrocolloid material creates a superior seal that effectively prevents leakage and protects the surrounding skin from irritation caused by discharge, even when worn for extended periods.
