Choosing the right skin barrier type is essential for protecting the skin around the stoma from irritation and breakdown caused by urine. The best skin barrier type depends on wear time needs and skin sensitivity; options include standard wear, extended wear, and synthetic barriers. Extended wear barriers, like Flextend®, are designed to be more resistant to discharge and offer longer-lasting protection, making them ideal for active users or those with sensitive skin. The Hollister 19253 New Image Sterile Kit includes a Flextend® skin barrier, providing extra durability and protection. With a range of skin barrier types available, customers can choose the option that best matches their lifestyle and skin needs.
