McKesson Skin Barrier 1/3 Arc Strip PDC Healthcare Pillow Protector with Zipper Closure, Standard Size, 21" x 27" - 15035-11-MGD-Single - LL Medico McKesson Male Urinal with Lid - 51-H140-01 - LL Medico

McKesson Skin Barrier Strips 1/3 ARC, Water Resistant Hydrocolloid, 1 in Width

The McKesson Skin Barrier Strips are designed to give ostomy patients an extra layer of protection and confidence throughout the day. Featuring a curved 1/3-arc shape, these pre-cut strips conveniently picture-frame the flange, helping to keep the pouching system secure while shielding the delicate peristomal skin from irritation and leakage.

Each strip is made with a gentle yet highly absorbent hydrocolloid adhesive that soaks up exudate while maintaining a water-resistant surface, so patients can shower, bathe, or swim without worrying about their seal. The high-tack adhesion ensures a reliable, secure fit right from application, while the thin-edge, no roll-up design keeps the strip smooth and virtually unnoticeable against the skin, supporting natural movement throughout daily activities.

These strips can be applied directly to the skin as a barrier beneath the pouching system, or layered over the pouch to reinforce and secure it in place. Removal is easy and gentle, minimizing the skin trauma that can result from repeated adhesive removal — making this hydrocolloid skin barrier especially well-suited for patients with sensitive skin or tape allergies.

Backed by the trusted McKesson brand, these 1-inch wide barrier strips are a practical addition to any ostomy care routine, offering added security, comfort, and skin protection between pouch changes.

How is the strip shaped, and what does that mean for application?

Is this product suitable for people with sensitive skin or tape allergies?
Yes, the strip is designed for easy, gentle removal that helps protect the skin from trauma, making it ideal for those with tape allergies or skin irritation.
