Hollister New Image CeraPlus Flat Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Trim-to-Fit FAQs
What is the main benefit of ceramide in the CeraPlus skin barrier?
Ceramide is a natural lipid found in your skin that acts like mortar to help form a strong, waterproof protective barrier. The CeraPlus barrier's infusion with ceramide (Remois technology) helps protect the skin's natural moisture barrier and reduce water loss, which helps prevent dryness, irritation, and potential damage to the peristomal skin.
Is the Hollister CeraPlus barrier designed for extended wear?
Yes, the CeraPlus skin barrier is specifically designed for extended wear. Its formulation and strong adhesive properties are intended to maintain a secure seal and provide reliable protection over multiple days, which may result in less frequent product changes for the user.
What stoma type is best suited for a flat skin barrier?
A flat skin barrier is generally best suited for stomas that protrude clearly from the abdomen and for the surrounding skin that is flat and even. This design allows the adhesive to lie smoothly and firmly against the skin for a secure fit.
Can I cut the opening to fit my stoma?
Yes, this is a trim-to-fit skin barrier, which means you can cut the opening to customize the size and shape for a precise fit around your stoma. This allows for a personalized seal that helps protect the peristomal skin from output.
