Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Floating Flange, Cut-to-Fit, 44 mm Flange

Description

Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Floating Flange, Cut-to-Fit

The Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier is the adhesive wafer base of a Hollister two-piece ostomy system, built around the trusted FlexTend extended-wear skin barrier. It features a 44 mm (1¾-inch) flange in a color-coded green coupling, so you can match it to a compatible Hollister pouch with the same flange size. Its flat, cut-to-fit design makes it a versatile everyday choice for stomas that protrude normally, and the extended-wear formula is designed to protect peristomal skin over a longer wearing time.

What sets this barrier apart is the exclusive floating flange. Because the flange flexes independently of the adhesive, you can attach your pouch by supporting the flange from underneath rather than pressing down on the abdomen—eliminating pressure on tender, post-operative, or sensitive skin. The pouch snaps on with a secure, patented locking system that audibly clicks into place for reassuring, leak-resistant confidence, and can be removed or changed without disturbing the barrier on your skin. The tapered edges hug the body smoothly and help eliminate the need for extra tape.

This is a cut-to-fit barrier, so you can trim the opening to match an irregular, oval, or changing stoma for a snug, customized fit. It is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible. This barrier is available in multiple options, including single wafers and a box of 5—simply select your size and quantity below to order the option that's right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a pouch or just the skin barrier?
A: This is the two-piece skin barrier (wafer/flange) only—the adhesive base that protects your skin. You'll pair it with a separately purchased Hollister pouch that has a matching 44 mm flange.

Q: What does the floating flange do?
A: The floating flange flexes independently from the adhesive, so you can attach your pouch without pressing on the stoma or abdomen. This is especially comfortable for tender, post-operative, or sensitive skin.

Q: How do I know which pouch fits this barrier?
A: Choose a Hollister two-piece pouch with the same 44 mm (green) flange size. The color-matching system helps ensure the coupling sizes line up for a secure, audible click.

Q: Do I need to cut the opening?
A: Yes—this is a cut-to-fit barrier, so you trim the opening to match your stoma's exact shape and size for a close, protective fit.

Q: How long can I wear it?
A: The FlexTend barrier is designed for extended wear, protecting peristomal skin over a longer period. Actual wear time varies by individual, output, and body profile.
