Description

Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Floating Flange, Cut-to-Fit, 70 mm Flange

The Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier is the adhesive wafer base of Hollister's two-piece ostomy system, designed to protect your peristomal skin while a matching FlexTend pouch snaps securely onto the flange. Featuring Hollister's trusted FlexTend extended-wear skin barrier and a floating flange with a patented locking system that audibly clicks into place, this wafer is ideal for anyone who wants dependable security without pressing on a tender or post-operative abdomen. The 70 mm (2¾-inch) flange is color-coded blue to help you match it quickly with the correct pouch every time.

Because this is a two-piece system, the barrier stays in place on your skin while you remove, change, or empty the separate pouch as needed - so you disturb your skin far less often. The floating flange flexes independently, letting you couple the pouch comfortably without having to push down on your stoma. The extended-wear FlexTend barrier resists erosion from output to protect the skin over a longer wearing time, and the tapered edges hug the skin to help eliminate the need for extra tape.

This is a flat, cut-to-fit barrier, so you simply trim the opening to match your stoma - perfect for irregular, oval, or changing stomas. It is available in multiple options, including single wafers and boxes, with a trim range up to your selected size. The FlexTend barrier is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a pouch or a skin barrier?
A: This is a skin barrier (also called a wafer or flange) - the adhesive base of a two-piece system. A separate Hollister FlexTend pouch with a matching 70 mm coupling attaches to it.

Q: What does the floating flange do?
A: The floating flange flexes independently from the barrier, so you can click the pouch into place with an audible lock without pressing down on your stoma or a tender abdomen.

Q: How do I cut it to fit?
A: This is a cut-to-fit barrier, so you trim the opening with scissors to match your stoma's shape and size before applying - great for oval or changing stomas.

Q: How long can I wear it?
A: FlexTend is an extended-wear barrier formulated to resist erosion from output and protect the skin over a longer wearing time, though individual wear time varies.

Q: Does this barrier fit any pouch?
A: For a secure, leak-resistant seal, pair it with a Hollister two-piece pouch that has a matching 70 mm (2¾-inch) blue-coded flange.
