Hollister New Image Flextend Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Floating Flange, Cut-to-Fit, 57 mm Flange, Extended Wear

The Hollister New Image Flextend Skin Barrier is the adhesive wafer base of Hollister's popular two-piece ostomy system. Built with Hollister's Flextend extended-wear skin barrier, this flat, cut-to-fit wafer is designed to protect delicate peristomal skin from irritating output while providing a dependable foundation for a matching New Image pouch. It's an excellent choice for anyone who wants longer, more reliable wear time and the flexibility to trim the opening to their exact stoma shape.

What sets this barrier apart is the floating flange. Because the flange flexes independently of the skin barrier, you can attach your pouch without pressing down on a tender abdomen \u2014 ideal after surgery or for sensitive stomas. The patented locking system audibly clicks into place, giving you a secure, confident seal. The Flextend barrier resists erosion from discharge, helping the wafer stay put and keeping your skin protected over an extended wearing period. An adhesive tape border adds extra security around the edges.

This barrier features a 57 mm (2\u00bc inch) flange, part of Hollister's color-matching system (this size is coded red) \u2014 be sure to pair it with a New Image pouch that has the same 57 mm coupling for a proper fit. The cut-to-fit opening lets you customize the stoma opening for irregular, oval, or changing stomas. It is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible. This item is sold as a Box of 5 \u2014 select your option below to order.
