Hollister Premier FlexTend Convex One-Piece Urostomy Pouch with Tape Border, Trim-to-Fit FAQs
What is the main benefit of a one-piece urostomy system?
A one-piece system combines the skin barrier and the pouch into a single unit. This design is often flatter and simpler to apply than a two-piece system, and it may offer a more secure seal for some users since there is no coupling mechanism.
What does the Flextend skin barrier provide?
The Flextend barrier is designed for extended wear and is known for its durability. Its formulation offers high resistance to breakdown and erosion from liquid output, such as urine, which helps to maintain a secure seal and protect the skin for a longer period.
Why is a convex barrier recommended for a urostomy?
A convex barrier is often recommended for urostomies, especially if the stoma is retracted, flush with the skin, or located in a crease. The convexity applies gentle pressure to the area, helping the stoma protrude slightly and improving the seal against potential leakage.
How is this pouch used for night drainage?
This urostomy pouch has a drainage tap at the bottom that is designed to connect to a larger bedside collector or night drainage bag. You use the provided adapter to create a secure connection, allowing urine to continuously drain overnight without the need to wake up and empty the pouch.
