Hollister New Image Flextend Barrier 4" Cut -To-Fit 3-1/2" With Tape

Why Choose Hollister New Image Flextend Barrier with Tape 4" Cut-to-Fit up to 3-1/2"

The 4-inch Flextend with tape is the highest-specification flat barrier in the New Image 2-piece range — combining the largest standard flange size (4 inch), the widest cut-to-fit aperture range (up to 3-1/2 inch), extended-wear Flextend adhesive, and tape border reinforcement. The 4-inch flange is specified when the peristomal skin coverage area requires the full 4-inch barrier diameter for stable adhesion — typically in users with larger stoma profiles, larger body habitus requiring wider adhesive surface, or peristomal anatomy where smaller flanges lift at the perimeter due to insufficient available flat skin. The cut-to-fit range up to 3-1/2 inch accommodates the largest adult stoma diameters — stomas that fall outside the ranges of smaller barrier formats are the primary indication for this configuration. Flextend extended-wear adhesive resists output erosion at the aperture zone for longer than FlexWear, relevant for ileostomy and high-output stomas where larger stoma diameter correlates with higher output volume in contact with the barrier. Tape border provides edge reinforcement across the 4-inch perimeter — the largest perimeter in the range, with the most perimeter length exposed to movement-related lifting forces. 5 per box.

Key Features

✔ 4-inch flange — largest standard New Image 2-piece coupling for larger stoma and body profiles

✔ Cut-to-fit up to 3-1/2 inch for the largest adult stoma diameters

✔ Flextend extended-wear adhesive for improved aperture erosion resistance

✔ Tape border for edge reinforcement across the full 4-inch perimeter

✔ Flat barrier for well-protruding stomas on available flat peristomal skin

✔ 5 per box — confirm pouch compatibility with 4-inch flange before ordering

Benefits

✔ Largest aperture range (up to 3-1/2 inch) for stoma diameters outside smaller barrier ranges

✔ Flextend adhesive extends wear time for higher-output stomas at larger calibre

✔ Tape border reduces perimeter lifting across the widest New Image flange diameter

✔ 4-inch flange provides stable adhesive contact for larger body and peristomal profiles

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

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Larger stoma diameters requiring cut-to-fit aperture up to 3-1/2 inch

✔ Larger body habitus or wider peristomal anatomy requiring 4-inch flange coverage

✔ High-output ileostomy with larger stoma requiring extended-wear at this flange size

✔ Peripheral edge lifting at smaller flanges indicating need for 4-inch perimeter reinforcement

✔ New Image 4-inch system users requiring Flextend extended-wear with tape border

Usage & Care

Confirm stoma measurement and available peristomal skin area before ordering — 4-inch flange requires adequate flat peristomal skin coverage for stable adhesion. Cut aperture no more than 3mm larger than stoma within the up-to-3-1/2-inch range. Apply to clean, dry peristomal skin and press firmly from stoma outward including the full tape border perimeter. Attach compatible 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 and fitting guidance at this flange size.
