About Hollister Adapt CeraRing Barrier Rings
These Adapt CeraRing Barrier Rings are designed to enhance the seal between your skin and the ostomy barrier. They work by filling in any uneven skin contours near the stoma, creating a smoother surface and helping to prevent output from leaking underneath the appliance. A key feature of these rings is the infusion of ceramides, which help protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier and may prevent dryness and damage. Their solid construction makes them a cleaner, more durable alternative to ostomy paste. They are incredibly easy to use and are not made with natural rubber latex.

How do the ceramides benefit my skin?
Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that help maintain the skin's moisture barrier. The ceramides infused in these CeraRing Barrier Rings help prevent the loss of water from the skin, which can help reduce the dryness and potential damage often associated with frequent barrier changes.

How do I apply the Adapt CeraRing Barrier Ring?
