Hollister New Image Flat FlexWear Skin Barrier 1-1/4'' Cut-to-fit 1-3/4'' 5/bx

Why Choose Hollister New Image Flat FlexWear Skin Barrier Cut-to-Fit

The FlexWear barrier is the standard-wear option within the Hollister New Image range — positioned for users whose stoma and peristomal skin profile does not require the extended-wear formulation of Flextend or the convexity of CeraPlus Convex barriers. A flat barrier is appropriate when the stoma has good protrusion above the skin surface and the peristomal skin is relatively flat and even — conditions under which the barrier adhesive can make consistent contact across the flange surface and the stoma protrudes enough to direct output cleanly into the pouch without pooling at the base. The cut-to-fit opening allows precise aperture sizing to match the individual stoma diameter — important for peristomal skin protection because an aperture too large leaves skin exposed to output, and an aperture cut smaller than the stoma restricts the stoma. For users whose stoma size is still changing post-operatively, or for users whose stoma is not well-served by pre-sized barriers, cut-to-fit provides the flexibility to adjust the aperture at each change. 1-3/4 inch flange connects to compatible Hollister New Image 2-piece pouches. 5 per box. Consult a stoma care nurse for barrier selection guidance.

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Colostomy and ileostomy management with good stoma protrusion on flat peristomal skin

✔ Post-operative stoma management where stoma size is evolving within the cut-to-fit range

✔ New Image 2-piece users requiring standard-wear flat barrier

✔ Users where Flextend extended-wear performance is not required

✔ Transition from pre-sized flat barriers to cut-to-fit for better aperture precision

Usage & Care

Measure the stoma accurately before cutting — aperture should be no more than 3mm larger than the stoma. Apply to clean, dry peristomal skin and press firmly from the stoma outward. Attach compatible 1-3/4" New Image 2-piece pouch. Change every 2–4 days or when lifting, leaking, or skin changes are observed. Inspect peristomal skin at each change for output contact or adhesive irritation. Consult a stoma care nurse for wear-time guidance and peristomal skin assessment.
