Skin Barriers and Flanges

What is a Skin Barrier?

A skin barrier (also known as an ostomy barrier, flange, wafer, device, or appliance) is designed to protect the skin from ostomy output. It sticks to the skin around the stoma (called the peristomal skin) using an adhesive and serves as the base for attaching the ostomy bag securely to the body.

 There are several types of skin barriers and flanges available:

• Pre-cut barriers — great for round, well-formed stomas;
• Cut-to-fit barriers — allow for a custom fit for irregular or changing stomas;
• Moldable barriers — can be shaped by hand to suit your individual needs.

Skin barriers and flanges offer a secure, reliable seal and protect your skin around the clock, helping you stay comfortable and confident, even during active daily routines.

Why a Great Skin Barrier Matters?

When it comes to your health and well-being, there’s no room for compromise. We all want to use high-quality products that help make life as comfortable as possible when it matters most. That’s exactly what our premium skin barriers are made for:

• Protection for delicate, sensitive skin to help prevent irritation;
• A snug, reliable seal around the stoma to reduce the risk of leaks or unexpected issues;
• The ability to change the bag without removing the barrier, giving your skin a break, and safely extending wear time.

A well-designed, reliable skin barrier gives you 100% confidence to move through your day without worry. That’s why it’s so important to choose a supplier you can trust for your ostomy care.
