Hollister Premier FlexTend Convex One-Piece Urostomy Pouch with Tape Border, Pre-Sized FAQs
What type of stoma is best suited for a convex barrier?
A convex barrier is best suited for stomas that are recessed, retracted, or flush (level) with the skin. The convex shape provides gentle, firm pressure on the peristomal skin, which helps the stoma protrude and creates a better, more reliable seal to prevent leakage.
Why is the Flextend barrier the barrier of choice for urostomies?
The Flextend barrier is an extended wear skin barrier that is highly resistant to erosion caused by liquid output, particularly urine. This durability and high resistance help protect the skin over a longer wearing time, which is essential for managing a urostomy.
What is the function of the anti-reflux valve in the urostomy pouch?
The anti-reflux valve is a one-way mechanism built into the pouch's construction. Its function is to minimize the backflow of urine from the pouch toward the stoma, which helps prevent skin irritation and potentially ascending infection.
How is this one-piece pouch used for overnight drainage?
This urostomy pouch has an adjustable tap at the bottom that is designed for connection to a bedside collector or night drainage system. You use the provided adapter to secure the connection, allowing urine to drain continuously and safely while you sleep.
