Frequently asked questions
How long does the Flextend barrier typically last?
The Flextend skin barrier is engineered for extended wear performance. Its specialized formulation is designed to resist erosion longer than standard barriers, providing reliable, long-lasting adhesion and peace of mind between changes.
Will this barrier fit my current pouch?
This barrier is compatible with any Hollister New Image pouch (drainable, closed, or urostomy) that features a 57-mm flange size. You can easily verify compatibility by looking for the red color-coded system on your pouch, which matches this barrier.
What is the benefit of the convex design?
The convex construction applies gentle, targeted pressure to the peristomal skin. This is designed to assist in stoma protrusion, which helps ensure an effective, snug seal and helps prevent leakage.
Is the stoma opening customizable?
This specific item features a 35-mm pre-cut stoma opening. It is intended for users who require this specific size for a consistent, secure fit.
How do I know which pouches match this?
Hollister uses a simple color-coding system. Because this barrier has a 57-mm flange, it is part of the red code system. Any Hollister pouch marked with the red color indicator is designed to snap onto this barrier seamlessly.
What does 'extended-wear' mean for my routine?
Extended-wear means the adhesive is formulated to stay secure for a longer duration compared to standard barriers. This usually results in fewer required changes per week, which can save time and reduce skin irritation caused by frequent adhesive removal.
Does it require a separate belt?
No, the barrier features an integrated floating flange. This design allows you to snap on your compatible pouch without needing additional plastic belt tabs, making the application process easier and more comfortable.
Is the barrier discreet under clothing?
Yes, the skin barrier is constructed in a neutral, skin-tone beige color. Its low-profile design is intended to remain discreet and unobtrusive when worn under your regular clothing.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
The Flextend barrier is designed to be skin-friendly while offering superior resistance to erosion. Its medical-grade, flexible material provides a durable seal, though individual skin sensitivities vary. If you have specific medical concerns, it is always recommended to consult your ostomy nurse.
How many barriers come in a box?
Each box contains 5 individual Hollister New Image Flextend Skin Barriers.
