Convexity type—flat, convex, or deep convex—determines how well the barrier fits against your body and accommodates various stoma types and abdominal contours. The best convexity depends on whether your stoma is flush, recessed, or protruding, as well as the firmness of your abdomen. Flat barriers work well for protruding stomas, while convex or deep convex options provide extra pressure and security for flush or retracted stomas, reducing the risk of leakage. The Nu-Hope 8845 offers a flat barrier, ideal for those with more protruding stomas and even skin surfaces. There are a variety of convexity types available in this product category, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs.
