Hollister New Image Convex Flextend Skin Barrier, Cut-to-Fit up to 1-1/2″ (38mm) Flange 2-1/4″ (57mm) Tape Border (14803) 5/bx

Why Choose Hollister New Image Convex Flextend Barrier 14803 with Tape Border

Item 14803 is the most clinically comprehensive convex barrier configuration in the New Image 2-piece range at the 2-1/4 inch flange — combining convex geometry, Flextend extended-wear adhesive, and tape border edge reinforcement at a 38mm cut-to-fit aperture. Each specification addresses a distinct failure mode: convexity addresses flush stoma seal failure; Flextend extended-wear adhesive addresses aperture zone output erosion in ileostomy and higher-output colostomy; tape border addresses perimeter edge lifting during movement. A flush stoma on an ileostomy user is the patient profile that benefits most from all three simultaneously — the stoma does not protrude adequately for flat barrier seal (convex required), liquid ileostomy output attacks the barrier adhesive at the aperture (Flextend required), and the abdominal movement and pressure during daily activity lifts the barrier perimeter (tape border required). Selecting individual specification upgrades separately — convex without extended-wear, or extended-wear without tape border — addresses only one failure mode at a time. Item 14803 addresses all three simultaneously. Cut-to-fit up to 38mm, 2-1/4 inch flange. 5 per box. Consult a stoma care nurse before using convex products.

Key Features

✔ Convex barrier for flush or retracted stoma seal support

✔ Flextend extended-wear adhesive for output erosion resistance at aperture zone

✔ Tape border for perimeter edge reinforcement across the 2-1/4 inch flange

✔ Cut-to-fit up to 1-1/2 inch / 38mm for individual stoma aperture precision

✔ 2-1/4 inch flange for compatible Hollister New Image 2-piece pouches

✔ Item 14803 — 5 per box

Benefits

✔ Triple specification addresses convex seal failure, aperture erosion, and perimeter lifting simultaneously

✔ Flextend adhesive extends wear time for ileostomy and higher-output colostomy with flush stoma

✔ Tape border reduces perimeter lifting that extended-wear adhesive alone does not prevent

✔ Cut-to-fit 38mm range accommodates wider stoma diameter precision

✔ 2-piece system allows independent pouch and barrier change scheduling

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Ileostomy with flush or retracted stoma — the primary profile for all three specifications simultaneously

✔ High-output colostomy with flush stoma requiring convex + extended-wear combination

✔ Users where Flextend Convex without tape border still experiences perimeter lifting

✔ Most demanding peristomal adhesion requirement within the New Image 2-1/4 inch flange range

✔ New Image 2-1/4 inch users stepping up to maximum convex extended-wear configuration

Usage & Care

Confirm convexity is clinically appropriate with a stoma care nurse. Measure stoma before cutting — aperture no more than 3mm larger than stoma within the up-to-38mm range. Apply to clean, dry peristomal skin and press firmly from stoma outward — include full tape border perimeter for complete edge adhesion. Attach compatible 2-1/4 inch New Image pouch. Change every 3–5 days or when lifting, leaking, or skin changes are observed. Consult a stoma care nurse for wear-time guidance.
