Frequently asked questions
Does this ring prevent skin irritation?
Yes, the Skin Barrier Ring SoftFlex is designed specifically for comfort. Unlike traditional stoma pastes that may contain alcohol or harsh drying agents, this ring is completely sting-free and formulated to be gentle on sensitive peristomal skin.
Can I reshape the ring for a better fit?
Absolutely. The ring is made from a highly pliable material that offers great versatility for a customized fit:
- Stretchable: Can be pulled to fit specific stoma dimensions.
- Moldable: Easily shaped by hand to match unique anatomy.
- Stackable: Multiple rings can be layered to create a more robust seal.
Is this easier to apply than traditional paste?
Yes, it is an excellent alternative for individuals with limited dexterity. Because it is a solid, moldable ring, it eliminates the mess and difficulty often associated with squeezing and spreading traditional stoma pastes.
Will this ring help reduce leakage risks?
Yes, by allowing you to create a personalized seal, it significantly enhances the integrity of your skin barrier. You can cut, bend, or stack the rings to effectively bridge gaps and create a secure fit around the stoma.
Is the material safe for sensitive skin?
The SoftFlex ring is specifically engineered for skin health. Its skin-friendly, non-irritating composition makes it a preferred choice for users who struggle with the harsh ingredients commonly found in standard ostomy pastes.
Can I use this with different stoma shapes?
Yes. Its flexible formulation is designed to accommodate various stoma sizes and shapes. Whether you need to adapt to an irregular stoma or fill in uneven skin surfaces, the material can be molded to your exact needs.
Is this product eligible for FSA coverage?
Yes, the Hollister SoftFlex Skin Barrier Ring is FSA eligible, making it a convenient option for your healthcare spending needs.
Can these rings be stacked for extra protection?
Yes, stacking is a recommended feature. If you need a thicker barrier or have a deeper depression around the stoma, you can layer multiple rings to create a more secure and robust seal.
Does the ring work with standard skin barriers?
The SoftFlex ring is a versatile accessory engineered to enhance the efficacy of your existing skin barrier, ensuring a tighter, more secure application regardless of the barrier brand.
How should I store the ring before use?
Each ring is provided in protective packaging to maintain its integrity. It is recommended to keep it in its original packaging until you are ready to apply it, ensuring the material remains clean and pliable for your next change.
