The barrier type—flat, convex, or deep convex—affects how the pouch system fits against the body and manages stoma output. Flat barriers are ideal for those with a protruding stoma and flat peristomal skin, while convex and deep convex barriers provide added pressure to help flatten the skin around retracted or flush stomas, minimizing leakage. Choosing the right barrier type ensures optimal comfort and security based on individual anatomy. The Nu-Hope 8664 offers a flat barrier, perfect for users with outward stomas. Different barrier types are available across this category, so users can pick what best suits their stoma and skin profile.
