Convexity refers to the outward curve of the skin barrier, which helps improve the seal and fit for those with flush, retracted, or irregularly shaped stomas. This feature is especially important for preventing leaks and protecting sensitive peristomal skin. Convex barriers, like those in the SUR-FIT Natura Durahesive Moldable line, provide gentle pressure to help the stoma protrude, resulting in a more secure fit. Products such as Convatec 404592 and Convatec 404594 both feature convexity for enhanced performance. There are different convex options available, so you can choose the one that best suits your stoma profile.
