The barrier shape is crucial because it determines how well the pouch fits the contours around your stoma, which impacts comfort and leakage prevention. Convex barriers, like those in the Hollister Premier line, are ideal for users with flush or retracted stomas, as they help create a better seal and promote drainage into the pouch. If your stoma is above skin level, a flat barrier may suffice, but for many, soft convexity offers the best combination of security and skin protection. Both the 841311 and 84134 feature a soft convex barrier, supporting a secure fit for a variety of stoma shapes. A range of barrier shapes are available to suit individual anatomical differences.
