Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Square, Cut-to-Fit, Without Flange

Description

Hollister FlexTend Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Square, Cut-to-Fit, Without Flange

The Hollister FlexTend Skin Barrier is the adhesive base of a two-piece ostomy system, built to protect and nurture the delicate skin surrounding your stoma. Featuring Hollister's dependable FlexTend extended-wear skin barrier, this flat, square wafer is engineered to be highly resistant to discharge, making it a barrier of choice for many people with urostomies and ileostomies as well as anyone seeking long, reliable wear. Because it has no built-in flange, it serves as the skin-protective foundation onto which your compatible pouch attaches.

The flat barrier shape is ideal for stomas that protrude normally, providing a smooth, even seal across the peristomal skin. The extended-wear formulation stands up to output over time, helping to prevent premature erosion and giving you added confidence and fewer changes throughout the week. Because it's a two-piece system, you can remove or replace your pouch as needed without disturbing the barrier, which means less pulling and irritation for your skin.

This cut-to-fit barrier lets you trim the opening to precisely match an irregular, oval, or changing stoma for a custom, secure fit. The overall wafer measures 4 x 4 inches, and the stoma opening can be cut up to 3.5 inches. It 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 (wafer/flange base), not a pouch. It is the adhesive foundation of a two-piece system that protects your peristomal skin; a separate compatible Hollister pouch attaches to it.

Q: What does "cut-to-fit" mean?
A: It means you trim the barrier opening yourself to match your exact stoma size and shape. The opening on this barrier can be cut up to 3.5 inches, making it ideal for irregular, oval, or changing stomas.

Q: Who is an extended-wear flat barrier best for?
A: The FlexTend extended-wear barrier is highly resistant to discharge, so it's a popular choice for urostomies and ileostomies and anyone who wants longer, more secure wear. The flat shape suits stomas that protrude normally.

Q: This barrier is listed as "without flange"—how does my pouch attach?
A: This wafer does not have a plastic coupling ring built in. Be sure to pair it with a compatible Hollister two-piece pouch or coupling as directed by your supplier or clinician so the pieces work together correctly.

Q: Is it latex-free and FSA/HSA eligible?
A: Yes. This barrier is not made with natural rubber latex and qualifies as an FSA/HSA-eligible medical supply.
