Hollister New Image Flexwear Convex Barrier 2-1/4" Pre-Cut" 1-1/4"" With Tape 5/Bx

Why Choose the Hollister New Image FlexWear Convex Barrier?

A flat skin barrier can struggle to maintain a secure seal on stomas that sit flush with, or below, the abdominal surface. When the stoma does not protrude adequately, output finds a path under the barrier edge — leading to leakage, skin breakdown, and the frustration of frequent unplanned changes. The Hollister New Image FlexWear Convex Barrier addresses this directly. The integrated convexity applies gentle, consistent inward pressure around the stoma base, encouraging the stoma to protrude outward and creating a tighter, more reliable peristomal seal. FlexWear™ hydrocolloid is engineered for extended wear, resisting breakdown from both solid and liquid output better than standard hydrocolloid materials. The pre-cut 1-1/4" (32 mm) opening delivers a consistent stoma fit without the variability of manual cutting, and the tape border reinforces adhesion at the perimeter for added security. The integrated floating flange reduces abdominal pressure during pouch attachment and removal, making changes more comfortable. Compatible with all Hollister New Image two-piece pouches with a 2-1/4" (57 mm) flange.

Benefits

• Convexity improves seal on challenging stoma profiles, reducing leakage risk
• FlexWear hydrocolloid extends wear time and reduces the frequency of barrier changes
• Pre-cut opening eliminates cutting variability and ensures a consistent stoma fit
• Floating flange allows more comfortable and less stressful pouch connection and disconnection
• Tape border improves security for active users or those with irregular abdominal contours
• Compatible with the full New Image two-piece pouch range for system flexibility

Clinical & Typical Applications

Colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy users with flush, retracted, or recessed stomas requiring convexity for a reliable peristomal seal

Ostomy users experiencing recurrent leakage with flat-profile barriers seeking an extended wear alternative

Active users who require a secure, durable barrier with resistance to output erosion throughout the day

Patients preferring a pre-cut barrier for convenience and consistency without manual cutting at each change

Post-operative ostomy patients who have been assessed by a stoma care nurse and recommended a convex barrier

Home care and long-term care clients where extended wear time reduces the frequency of caregiver-assisted barrier changes

Usage & Care

Application: Remove the backing from the barrier. Warm the barrier briefly in your hands to soften the FlexWear hydrocolloid. Centre the pre-cut opening over the stoma and press from the centre outward, smoothing the tape border firmly to the skin.

Pouch Connection: Align the New Image pouch flange with the barrier flange and press firmly until the coupling ring locks securely.

Wear Time: FlexWear barriers are designed for extended wear. Change when leakage occurs, when the barrier begins to lift, or at the interval recommended by your stoma care nurse — typically every 3–5 days.

Removal: Apply an adhesive remover spray to the barrier edge and allow to penetrate before peeling back slowly from the outer edge toward the stoma. Never forcibly peel without preparation.

Note: For use under the guidance of a stoma care nurse or healthcare provider. Confirm that convexity is appropriate for your stoma type and peristomal skin profile before use.
