Convexity is key to ensuring a secure seal and skin protection, especially for people with flush, retracted, or irregular stomas. Convex barriers gently press around the stoma to improve fit and reduce leaks, while flat barriers are ideal for protruding stomas and flat abdomens. Both options are available in the SUR-FIT Natura Durahesive line. For example, Convatec 404593 offers convexity for those needing added security, while Convatec 411804 is a flat barrier for more standard stoma profiles. The variety of convex and flat options means you can select the best product for your unique body and stoma type.
