Hollister Flexwear Convex Skin Barrier with Tapered Border 2 3/4in (70mm) Flange Cut-To-Fit Up To 2in (51mm) 5/Bx

Why Choose Hollister FlexWear Convex Skin Barrier with Tapered Border 2-3/4" 70mm Cut-To-Fit up to 2" 51mm 5/Bx

This barrier is built for ostomy users on a Hollister two-piece system who have been clinically directed to convex barrier support at the 2-3/4" / 70 mm coupling size — the larger end of Hollister's two-piece flange range, appropriate for users with larger adult stomas requiring convex pressure. FlexWear is Hollister's standard barrier formulation (distinct from the premium CeraPlus ceramide-infused variant) — engineered for routine ostomy wear with reliable adhesion and skin protection across typical wear intervals. Convexity in barrier design adds peristomal pressure that pushes the surrounding skin slightly inward, encouraging the stoma to protrude further above the skin surface — clinically appropriate for stomas that are flush, retracted, or have peristomal contour issues where flat barriers don't seal reliably. Convexity selection is a clinical decision made by an ostomy nurse or surgeon — not a user preference. The tapered border is a barrier perimeter design where the outer edge of the barrier is thinner than the centre, providing a smoother lower-profile edge against the skin that reduces edge-lift risk and supports more comfortable wear under clothing compared with full-thickness flat-edge barriers. The cut-to-fit opening allows customisation up to 2" / 51 mm — covering most adult stoma sizes at the larger coupling level. The 2-3/4" / 70 mm flange matches compatible Hollister 70 mm pouches — coupling sizes must match exactly. Box of 5 supports routine barrier resupply where barriers are worn multiple days before replacement. Hollister is an established US-origin ostomy manufacturer with a long-standing position in two-piece pouching system design.

✔ Useful for home care, clinical care, and travel routines

Benefits

✔ Convex barrier provides peristomal pressure that encourages stoma protrusion — appropriate for flush, retracted, or recessed stomas where flat barriers don't seal reliably

✔ Tapered border supports a smoother lower-profile barrier edge against the skin — reduces edge-lift risk and supports comfortable wear under clothing

✔ Tapered design wears more comfortably than full-thickness flat-edge barriers — less perceptible under clothing

✔ FlexWear standard formulation provides reliable adhesion and skin protection across routine wear intervals

✔ Cut-to-fit opening up to 2" / 51 mm allows precise adjustment to the user's stoma size

✔ 2-3/4" / 70 mm flange supports compatible Hollister two-piece pouches — confirm coupling size before ordering

✔ Larger 70 mm coupling appropriate for users with larger adult stomas requiring convex pressure

✔ Two-piece format allows pouch changes without removing the barrier — extending barrier wear life

✔ Helps protect peristomal skin from output and adhesive irritation

✔ Box of 5 supports routine barrier resupply where barriers are worn multiple days before replacement

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Ostomy users with flush, retracted, or recessed stomas clinically directed to convex barrier support

✔ Larger adult stomas requiring the 70 mm coupling with cut-to-fit opening up to 2" / 51 mm

✔ Two-piece Hollister system users requiring 70 mm coupling compatibility

✔ Users prioritising tapered-border lower-profile wear under clothing

✔ Stoma nurse-directed convexity routines at the larger coupling size

✔ Routine resupply for established Hollister FlexWear convex tapered-border users in 5 ct cycles

Usage/Application

Ideal for ostomy users who use compatible Hollister 2-3/4" / 70mm pouches and have been directed to use a convex cut-to-fit FlexWear barrier. Use as directed by a healthcare professional or ostomy nurse. Measure the stoma, cut the barrier opening to the correct size up to 2" / 51mm, apply to clean dry skin, and attach a compatible pouch.
