Convexity is a key consideration as it determines how well the barrier fits the stoma and peristomal skin. Flat barriers are great for even skin surfaces, while convex and soft convex barriers provide gentle pressure to help protrude recessed stomas and reduce leakage. Shape-to-fit options add further customization. For example, Hollister 11403 CeraPlus Convex is ideal for flush or retracted stomas, and Hollister 11703 Soft Convex provides gentle support for sensitive skin. With flat and convex options available, users can select the best fit for their anatomy and stoma type.
