Description

Hollister New Image Flextend Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Convex, Pre-Cut, 57 mm Flange, with Tape

The Hollister New Image Flextend Skin Barrier is the adhesive wafer base of Hollister's popular two-piece New Image ostomy system. Built with the trusted Flextend skin barrier and a gentle built-in convex shape, this wafer is designed for people with recessed, retracted, or flush stomas who need extra security and dependable peristomal skin protection. A tape border and a color-coded 57 mm (red) flange round out a barrier that's engineered for comfort and a confident seal.

The barrier's convexity presses gently around the stoma to help it protrude, directing output cleanly into the pouch and reducing the risk of leaks and undermining. Hollister's exclusive floating flange lets you attach a matching New Image pouch without pushing down on a tender abdomen\u2014simply couple the pouch to the flange and hear it snap securely into place. Because this is a two-piece system, you can remove or change the pouch as needed without disturbing the barrier on your skin. The Flextend barrier and tape collar are formulated for extended wear, protecting your skin from irritating discharge over longer wear times.

This barrier features a pre-cut stoma opening, so it's ready to apply with no trimming\u2014ideal for a stable, healed stoma. It is offered with the 57 mm flange in multiple pre-cut opening options and pack configurations, so please choose your selected size/option below. Remember that your pouch must share the same brand and 57 mm coupling size to fit this flange. Like all barriers we carry, it is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible.
