Hollister New Image FlexWear Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Convex, Cut-to-Fit, 1-3/4 Inch Flange

Description

Hollister New Image FlexWear Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Convex, Cut-to-Fit, 1-3/4 Inch Flange

The Hollister New Image FlexWear Skin Barrier is the adhesive wafer base of Hollister's popular two-piece ostomy system. Featuring built-in convexity and Hollister's FlexWear skin barrier, this wafer is designed for people with recessed, retracted, or flush stomas who need extra security and dependable peristomal skin protection. It is not a pouch on its own - it is the flange that adheres to your skin and that a matching New Image pouch snaps onto.

The convex shape applies gentle pressure around the stoma to help it protrude, encouraging output to drop cleanly into the pouch and reducing the risk of leaks and skin irritation. The exclusive floating flange flexes independently, so you can attach or change your pouch without pressing down on a tender, post-operative abdomen. Because it is a two-piece system, you can remove and replace the pouch as often as you like while the barrier stays comfortably in place, minimizing how often you disturb your skin. The FlexWear skin barrier resists erosion for reliable, standard-to-extended wear time.

This barrier has a cut-to-fit opening, letting you trim the hole to precisely match an irregular, oval, or changing stoma for a snug, protective seal. It features a 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) flange and must be paired with a New Image pouch of the same coupling size. 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 the skin barrier (wafer/flange) only - the adhesive base of Hollister's New Image two-piece system. You attach a separate New Image pouch with a matching 1-3/4 inch flange.

Q: Which pouch works with this barrier?
A: Any Hollister New Image pouch with a 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) coupling. Always match the brand and flange size so the pouch snaps securely onto the barrier.

Q: Who benefits from a convex barrier?
A: A convex barrier is ideal for flush, recessed, or retracted stomas, as it gently helps the stoma protrude for cleaner output and better skin protection.

Q: What does the floating flange do?
A: The floating flange lets you couple the pouch without pressing on your abdomen, making changes more comfortable - especially helpful during post-operative recovery.

Q: Do I need to trim it?
A: Yes. This is a cut-to-fit barrier, so you trim the opening to match your stoma's exact size and shape for a custom, secure fit.
