This barrier features \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in convexity\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standout feature here is the \u003cstrong\u003efloating flange\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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 \u003cstrong\u003eextended-wear FlexTend formulation\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003ecolor-matching system\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it's easy to pair with the correct matching pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003epre-cut\u003c\/strong\u003e barrier, ready to apply with no trimming required, which is ideal for a stable, healed stoma of a consistent shape. It carries a \u003cstrong\u003e44 mm flange\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it must be paired with a Hollister two-piece pouch that has a matching 44 mm coupling. This barrier is \u003cstrong\u003enot made with natural rubber latex\u003c\/strong\u003e and is \u003cstrong\u003eFSA\/HSA eligible\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is available in multiple options, including a stoma-opening choice, so please \u003cstrong\u003eselect your size and option below\u003c\/strong\u003e to order the correct fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this a pouch or just the skin barrier?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: This is the \u003cstrong\u003eskin barrier (wafer\/flange)\u003c\/strong\u003e only, the adhesive base of a two-piece system.
