Hollister New Image Convex FlexWear Skin Barrier Cut-to-Fit up to 1-1/2" (38mm) (14403) 5/bx

Why Choose Hollister New Image Convex FlexWear Skin Barrier 14403

The FlexWear Convex is the standard-wear convex configuration — appropriate for users whose flush or retracted stoma requires convex seal support but whose change frequency and adhesion requirements do not indicate Flextend extended-wear. At standard wear time (2–4 days), FlexWear adhesive provides reliable everyday peristomal skin protection and pouch coupling support without the extended-wear formulation that Flextend adds. The convex profile applies inward pressure at the stoma base to encourage protrusion and improve seal geometry — the clinical indication that makes a convex barrier necessary over flat. Cut-to-fit up to 1-1/2 inch / 38mm accommodates a wider stoma diameter range than the up-to-1-inch Flextend Convex — this format serves the mid-to-larger stoma diameter user who needs convexity and a wider aperture range that the smaller Flextend Convex cannot accommodate. Item 14403 confirms the specific product configuration — confirm flange size by SKU as the flange size for this item is not specified in the brief. 5 per box. Consult a stoma care nurse before initiating convex product use.

Key Features

✔ Convex barrier for flush or retracted stomas requiring inward seal pressure

✔ FlexWear standard-wear adhesive for routine everyday peristomal skin protection

✔ Cut-to-fit up to 1-1/2 inch / 38mm for wider stoma diameter range than smaller convex formats

✔ 2-piece system for compatible New Image pouches — confirm flange size by SKU

✔ Item 14403 — 5 per box

Benefits

✔ Convex profile addresses flush stoma seal failure beyond flat barrier capacity

✔ Wider 38mm cut-to-fit range accommodates mid-to-larger stoma diameters requiring convexity

✔ FlexWear standard wear is appropriate where extended-wear Flextend is not indicated

✔ Cut-to-fit allows precise aperture sizing across the range

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

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Flush or retracted stomas within the mid-to-larger diameter range requiring convex support

✔ New Image 2-piece users where flat FlexWear barrier fails to maintain seal

✔ Users requiring wider cut-to-fit convex aperture range than up-to-1-inch formats

✔ Standard wear time users where Flextend extended-wear is not clinically indicated

✔ Transition from flat New Image barrier when seal failure indicates convexity need

Usage & Care

Confirm convexity is clinically appropriate with a stoma care nurse before use. Confirm flange size by SKU before ordering compatible pouches. 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. Attach compatible New Image pouch of confirmed matching flange size. Change every 2–4 days or when lifting, leaking, or skin changes are observed. Consult a stoma care nurse for wear-time guidance.
