Frequently asked questions
Does the Flextend barrier provide long-term skin protection?
Yes, this barrier is specifically engineered for extended wear. The advanced hydrocolloid material is formulated to maintain skin integrity and offer reliable protection throughout longer durations of use.
Is the locking mechanism secure during daily movement?
Absolutely. It features a patented floating flange system. When you attach your pouch, you will hear a clear, audible “click,” providing tactile and auditory confirmation that the system is securely locked in place.
Does the barrier require extra tape for security?
No extra tape is necessary. The barrier is designed with tapered edges that create a smooth, low-profile transition against your skin, ensuring comfort while keeping the barrier securely positioned.
Is this barrier compatible with my current pouch system?
This product is part of the Green Code System. It is designed to match seamlessly with any Hollister ostomy pouch that uses the compatible green color-coded coupling system.
What is the primary material used in this barrier?
This barrier is constructed from high-quality hydrocolloid. This material is chosen for its ability to adhere securely while remaining gentle on the skin, which is essential for extended-wear applications.
Is this product eligible for FSA reimbursement?
Yes, the New Image Flextend Ostomy Barrier is FSA eligible, making it a convenient option for your healthcare spending needs.
How does the flat depth design improve comfort?
The flat depth profile is intentional to create a non-restrictive fit. By maintaining a low profile against the body, it minimizes bulk under clothing and reduces the risk of the barrier catching on garments.
Why is the floating flange considered a premium feature?
The floating flange allows for easier application. Because the flange is not attached directly to the adhesive barrier, you can lift it slightly to guide the pouch attachment without applying pressure to your abdomen, providing a more comfortable application experience.
Does the precut opening simplify my daily routine?
Yes. The precut 1-1/8 inch opening removes the need for manual measuring or cutting. This ensures a consistent, professional-grade fit every time, which helps prevent leaks and skin irritation.
Is this barrier designed to be gentle on sensitive skin?
The barrier is designed for comfort and skin health. The hydrocolloid material combined with the tapered, tape-free edges helps reduce the common causes of skin irritation associated with long-term ostomy care.
