Hollister New Image CeraPlus Soft Convex Skin Barrier, Pre-Sized FAQs
What does "soft convex" mean, and who should use it?
Soft convexity refers to a flexible barrier shape that provides a gentler, more forgiving inward pressure than a firm convex barrier. It is best suited for individuals with uneven skin surfaces, skin folds, or shallow depressions around the stoma where a little pressure is needed to achieve a good seal.
Why does this barrier include an integrated floating flange?
The floating flange design allows your fingers to be placed underneath the flange when you attach the pouch. This feature is intended to help minimize pressure on the sensitive skin and abdomen around the stoma during the coupling process.
How does the CeraPlus technology with ceramide help maintain skin health?
CeraPlus technology is infused with ceramide, a natural component of healthy skin. This helps to protect the skin's natural moisture barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and promoting healthier, less irritated skin around the stoma.
What is the benefit of the adhesive tape border?
The adhesive tape border surrounds the main barrier adhesive, extending the contact area with the skin. This provides extra security and helps the barrier stay in place longer, giving wearers increased confidence, especially when dealing with complex or uneven skin contours.
