Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Floating Flange, Cut-to-Fit, 57 mm Flange

Description

Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Floating Flange, Cut-to-Fit, 57 mm Flange

The Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier is the adhesive wafer (flange) base of a two-piece ostomy system, built around Hollister's trusted FlexTend skin barrier. This is not a pouch - it's the protective foundation that adheres to your skin and lets a matching Hollister pouch snap securely onto it. With its 57 mm (2¼ inch) coupling flange and patented Floating Flange, it's designed for anyone who wants dependable, gentle security - and it's especially kind to tender, post-operative abdomens.

The exclusive Floating Flange flexes independently of your skin, so you can attach your pouch without pressing down on or around the stoma - you simply hear and feel it "click" into place thanks to the secure locking system. Because this is a two-piece system, you can remove and change the pouch as needed without disturbing the barrier, extending comfort and reducing skin irritation. The FlexTend extended-wear barrier resists erosion from output to protect peristomal skin over a longer wear time, and its tapered edges hug the skin so you won't need extra tape to keep the edges down.

This is a flat, cut-to-fit barrier, so you can trim the stoma opening to match an irregular, oval, or changing stoma for a precise, personalized fit. It is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible. This barrier is available in multiple options, including single units and boxes - just be sure the 57 mm flange matches your Hollister two-piece pouch's coupling size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a pouch or just the skin barrier?
A: This is the skin barrier (wafer/flange) only - the adhesive base of a two-piece system. You'll attach a separately purchased Hollister pouch with a matching 57 mm coupling to it.

Q: What does the Floating Flange do?
A: The Floating Flange moves independently of your skin, letting you couple the pouch without pressing on a tender or newly operated abdomen. It "clicks" audibly into place for confident, secure attachment.

Q: What does cut-to-fit mean?
A: Cut-to-fit means you trim the barrier's opening to match your exact stoma size and shape - ideal for irregular, oval, or changing stomas.

Q: How long can I wear this barrier?
A: It uses the FlexTend extended-wear skin barrier, which resists breakdown from output to support a longer, comfortable wear time. Actual wear varies by individual and output.

Q: Is it latex-free and FSA/HSA eligible?
A: Yes. It is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible.
