Frequently asked questions
Does the floating flange help with abdominal tenderness?
Yes, the patented floating flange is specifically designed to eliminate discomfort. It allows for the pouch to be attached securely without applying pressure to sensitive or post-operative abdominal areas.
How do I know if the pouch is properly secured?
This barrier features an audible locking system. You will hear a distinct ‘click’ when the pouch is properly locked into the 44 mm flange, providing you with auditory confirmation of a secure seal.
Is the material gentle on the skin?
The barrier is constructed with FlexWear hydrocolloid, a high-quality material designed to be both durable and skin-friendly. It effectively creates a protective seal that shields the skin from corrosive drainage.
Can I customize the opening for a better fit?
Yes, this is a trim-to-fit barrier. It is designed to be easily customized to the exact size of your stoma, comfortably accommodating openings up to 1-1/4 inches.
Is this compatible with my current pouch system?
This barrier belongs to the Green Code System. It is designed to be perfectly compatible with any Hollister New Image pouches that match the 44 mm Green Code requirement.
Is the adhesive tape durable for daily wear?
The product includes an integrated adhesive tape border that helps keep the barrier securely in place while maintaining a discreet, low-profile fit against the body.
Is this product suitable for post-operative recovery?
Absolutely. Because the floating flange design bypasses the need for direct pressure on the abdomen, it is an excellent choice for patients recovering from surgery or those with highly sensitive skin.
Can I use this for home healthcare?
Yes, the New Image FlexTend barrier is widely utilized in both clinical settings and home healthcare environments, meeting professional-grade standards for reliability and comfort.
Are there specific sizing limitations I should know?
This specific unit has a 44 mm flange size and is intended for stoma openings that require a trim-to-fit aperture up to 1-1/4 inches.
Does this qualify for FSA reimbursement?
