Coloplast Adhesive Protective Rings 18mm ID 48mm OD 2.5mm Thick single

Why Choose Coloplast Adhesive Protective Ring 18mm ID / 48mm OD / 2.5mm Thick

This ring shares the 18mm inner diameter and 48mm outer diameter with the Brava Wide Ring in the 4.2mm thickness, but provides a meaningfully different sealing profile at 2.5mm. The thickness specification is the clinical differentiator: 2.5mm provides a slimmer ring profile that applies less outward distortion to the peristomal skin under the barrier during wear. Users who require the 18mm/48mm ring geometry for their stoma and peristomal anatomy but find the 4.2mm ring creates an uncomfortable raised ridge under the barrier — detectable through clothing or causing pressure at the clothing waistband — benefit from the thinner 2.5mm alternative which delivers the same perimeter seal at the stoma aperture with a lower-profile contact footprint. The 2.5mm thickness is also appropriate when the peristomal skin depression being filled is shallow — a deep ring fills a shallow depression by overextending and folding rather than conforming, while the thinner ring sits flat within the shallow depression without excess material. The 18mm inner diameter fits standard adult smaller stoma diameters; the 48mm outer diameter provides adequate aperture coverage beyond the stoma edge for output interception. Moldable adhesive allows hand-shaping to the stoma contour. Confirm quantity per box by exact SKU. Consult a stoma care nurse for ring selection guidance.

Key Features

✔ 2.5mm slim profile — lower bulk than 4.2mm for clothing waistband pressure-sensitive users

✔ 18mm inner diameter for standard adult smaller stoma diameters

✔ 48mm outer diameter for adequate perimeter coverage beyond the stoma edge

✔ Moldable adhesive for hand-shaped conforming fit to stoma contour

✔ Appropriate for shallow peristomal depressions where 4.2mm creates excess bulk

✔ Confirm quantity by exact SKU

Benefits

✔ Thinner 2.5mm profile reduces waistband and clothing pressure on the ring during wear

✔ Slim ring sits flat within shallow peristomal skin depressions without overextension

✔ Full 360-degree aperture-zone secondary seal around the stoma circumference

✔ Moldable construction conforms to non-circular stoma perimeter shapes

✔ May extend barrier wear time by sealing the aperture zone where leakage originates

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Stoma aperture seal reinforcement where 4.2mm ring creates uncomfortable bulk under clothing

✔ Shallow peristomal skin depressions requiring lower-profile ring fill

✔ Users with clothing waistband pressure sensitivity requiring slimmer ring profile

✔ Standard adult stoma diameters at or near 18mm inner diameter

✔ Any pouching system requiring aperture seal support with minimal profile footprint

Usage & Care

Warm in palms before use. Mold to match the stoma perimeter — stretch, compress, or shape as needed for accurate contact. Apply around the stoma or to the barrier aperture before barrier placement. Apply the ostomy barrier immediately over the ring. Replace at each barrier change. Confirm that the 18mm inner diameter is appropriate for the stoma diameter — the ring ID should closely approximate the stoma size. Consult a stoma care nurse for ring dimension selection.
