The barrier type—flat, convex, or deep convex—should be chosen based on your stoma profile and skin surface. Convex barriers are best for flush, retracted, or difficult-to-manage stomas, as they apply gentle pressure to help the stoma protrude and reduce leakage. Flat barriers are suitable for stomas that protrude well above the skin. Deep convex options offer even more pronounced support for challenging cases. The Nu-Hope 8645-C Standard Oval Convex Pre-Cut Barrier and Adult Urinary Pouch is a convex barrier, ideal for many users needing extra security. Multiple barrier types are available, ensuring you can select the best option for your unique needs.
