New Image Flextend Barrier 2-1/4" Pre-Cut 1-3/8" With Tape Bx/5

Why Choose Hollister New Image Flextend Barrier with Tape 1-3/8" Pre-Cut

The Flextend barrier with tape border is the most fully specified standard flat barrier configuration in the Hollister New Image range — combining extended-wear adhesive performance with pre-cut convenience and tape border edge security. Flextend's extended-wear formulation maintains adhesive integrity and peristomal skin protection over longer wear periods than FlexWear standard — the relevant clinical difference is resistance to output erosion at the aperture zone, which progressively degrades standard barriers from the inside outward during ileostomy and high-output colostomy wear. The tape border addresses the opposite failure point: peripheral edge lifting that initiates from the outside inward, typically at areas of skin movement, clothing friction, or moisture exposure at the barrier perimeter. Together, Flextend and tape border provide protection at both failure vectors — aperture zone erosion and peripheral edge lifting — making this the more durable combination for active or extended-wear users. The 1-3/8 inch pre-cut eliminates trimming for users with a stable stoma confirmed at this diameter. 2-1/4 inch flange couples with compatible New Image 2-piece pouches. 5 per box.

Key Features

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

✔ Tape border for additional peripheral edge security against lifting

✔ 1-3/8 inch pre-cut opening for stable stoma without trimming

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

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

✔ 5 per box

Benefits

✔ Flextend adhesive extends wear time vs. standard FlexWear for ileostomy and active use

✔ Tape border reduces peripheral edge lifting from the outside inward

✔ Combined Flextend + tape border addresses both aperture erosion and edge lifting failure modes

✔ Pre-cut 1-3/8 inch aperture provides consistent sizing without trimming at each change

✔ 2-piece system allows pouch changes while barrier remains in place

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Ileostomy management with liquid output requiring extended-wear aperture erosion resistance

✔ Active users where peripheral edge lifting reduces standard barrier wear time

✔ New Image 2-piece system users requiring extended-wear flat barrier with tape border

✔ Stable stoma at 1-3/8 inch diameter where pre-cut consistency is preferred

✔ Users stepping up from FlexWear to Flextend for improved extended-wear performance

Usage & Care

Confirm stoma measurement at 1-3/8 inch before ordering. Apply to clean, dry peristomal skin — press firmly from the stoma outward including the tape border edges for full 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. Inspect peristomal skin at each change. Consult a stoma care nurse for wear-time guidance.
