Frequently asked questions
Does the floating flange system reduce abdominal pressure?
Yes. The patented Floating Flange technology is specifically engineered to minimize pressure on tender, post-operative abdomens. Its design allows you to place your fingers under the flange during application, preventing direct force against sensitive areas.
Is this barrier designed to protect skin health?
Absolutely. It is constructed from FlexWear hydrocolloid material, which provides an effective barrier against corrosive drainage. This formulation is specifically engineered to promote long-term skin integrity and health.
How do I know the pouch is securely attached?
The system features audible and tactile security. You will receive clear auditory and physical feedback when the flange locks into place, ensuring the system is fastened correctly for your peace of mind.
Is this barrier compatible with my current pouches?
This barrier utilizes the Green Code System, which ensures perfect compatibility with corresponding Hollister ostomy pouches. Please verify that your current pouch system also uses the green color-coded flange to ensure a secure fit.
Is the material flexible enough for daily movement?
Yes, the FlexWear hydrocolloid is designed to be flexible and conform naturally to the contours of your body. Its low-profile design and rounded corners allow for a comfortable, discreet fit that moves with you throughout the day.
Is this barrier suitable for standard wear?
Yes, this is a standard-wear hydrocolloid barrier. It is ideal for patients who require a reliable, gentle, and effective seal for consistent, everyday stoma care.
What is the specific opening size of this barrier?
This model features a 3/4 inch precut opening, designed to provide an accurate fit for your specific stoma size right out of the box.
Is this product eligible for FSA reimbursement?
Yes, this ostomy barrier is FSA eligible, making it a convenient option for managing your healthcare expenses.
Does the adhesive provide a strong, reliable seal?
The barrier features a high-quality adhesive tape border that works in conjunction with the hydrocolloid base to provide a secure, long-lasting seal that protects your skin from irritation caused by output.
Why is this barrier considered better for post-op patients?
The Floating Flange design is particularly beneficial for those healing from surgery because it acts as a suspension system. By preventing direct pressure against the abdomen during the pouching process, it prioritizes patient comfort during the critical recovery phase.
