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

Description

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

The Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier is the adhesive wafer base of a two-piece ostomy system, built around Hollister's advanced FlexTend extended-wear skin barrier and a convenient floating flange. This barrier features built-in convexity, which gently applies pressure around the stoma to encourage flush, recessed, or retracted stomas to protrude, making it an excellent choice for anyone who struggles with a low-profile stoma and needs a more secure, protective seal.

The standout feature here is the floating flange, a coupling ring that flexes independently of the barrier so you can snap on your pouch without pressing down on tender skin or a sensitive stoma. This is especially valuable for post-operative abdomens or anyone who finds coupling uncomfortable. The extended-wear FlexTend formulation resists erosion from output over longer wear times, protecting your peristomal skin from irritating discharge while helping the barrier stay put day after day. The barrier is color-coded green for Hollister's color-matching system, so it's easy to pair with the correct matching pouch.

This is a pre-cut barrier, ready to apply with no trimming required, which is ideal for a stable, healed stoma of a consistent shape. It carries a 44 mm flange, so it must be paired with a Hollister two-piece pouch that has a matching 44 mm coupling. This barrier is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible. It is available in multiple options, including a stoma-opening choice, so please select your size and option below to order the correct fit.

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 separate Hollister pouch with a matching 44 mm coupling; the pouch can be changed without removing the barrier.

Q: What does the floating flange do?
A: The floating flange flexes independently from the barrier so you can attach or remove your pouch without pressing on the stoma or abdomen, which is much gentler on tender, post-operative skin.

Q: Who should use a convex barrier?
A: Convexity is designed for flush, recessed, or retracted stomas. The gentle outward pressure helps the stoma protrude for a more secure seal and better skin protection.

Q: What flange size do I need on my pouch?
A: This barrier has a 44 mm flange, so choose a Hollister two-piece pouch with a matching 44 mm coupling (color-matched green).

Q: Do I need to cut the opening?
A: No. This is a pre-cut barrier ready to apply with no trimming, best for a stable, healed stoma. Select your stoma-opening option below to get the right fit.
