Barrier type, specifically convexity versus non-convex, determines how the skin barrier fits against your body. Non-convex barriers are ideal for those with regular, protruding stomas and flat peristomal skin, providing a comfortable and secure seal without additional pressure. This is important to prevent leakage and skin irritation. Products like Coloplast 10021 and Coloplast 10031 are non-convex, catering to users with these needs. If your stoma is flush or retracted, you may require a convex barrier, but a variety of non-convex options are available for those with typical stoma profiles.
