Description

Safe n Simple X-Tra Wide Two-Piece Skin Barrier, Flat

The Safe n Simple X-Tra Wide Two-Piece Skin Barrier is the adhesive wafer base of a two-piece ostomy system, designed to protect your peristomal skin while a matching pouch snaps securely onto its coupling flange. This flat barrier is ideal for stomas that protrude normally, and its extra-wide adhesive surface offers a larger footprint for confident, reassuring security around the stoma. It's a smart choice for anyone who wants dependable skin protection and the flexibility to change pouches without disturbing the barrier.

Built with a skin-friendly surface and a heat-activated adhesive, this wafer forms a strong tack as it warms to your body temperature, helping it stay put throughout the day. The barrier is waterproof and absorbent, so it stands up to moisture and helps wick away perspiration and output to keep the skin underneath healthy and comfortable. Because it's a two-piece design, you can remove and replace the pouch as needed while leaving the barrier in place, reducing the frequency of skin-adhesive removal and giving your skin a rest.

To achieve a secure, leak-resistant seal, size the stoma opening to fit snugly around your stoma so the surrounding skin stays covered and protected. This barrier is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible. It's available in multiple options - from a single barrier up to bulk cases - so please select your size/option below to order the quantity that fits your routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a pouch or a skin barrier?
A: This is a skin barrier (also called a wafer or flange) - the adhesive base of a two-piece system. A separate, matching pouch snaps onto its coupling flange and is purchased separately.

Q: What does "flat" mean, and who is it for?
A: A flat barrier has a level adhesive surface without convexity, making it well suited for stomas that protrude normally and sit at or above skin level.

Q: How does the heat-activated adhesive work?
A: The adhesive develops a stronger tack as it warms to your body temperature. Applying gentle hand pressure over the barrier after placement helps it bond securely to your skin.

Q: Will it hold up in the shower or while swimming?
A: Yes. The barrier is waterproof and absorbent, so it resists moisture and helps manage perspiration for comfortable, reliable wear.

Q: How do I make sure the pouch fits this barrier?
A: Pair it with a Safe n Simple two-piece pouch that has the same coupling/flange size so the pouch snaps on securely.
