The washer type is important because it provides extra support and protection around the stoma, helping to prevent leaks and skin irritation. The best washer type depends on your skin sensitivity and the level of security you need. For example, thick washers like the MicroDerm™ washer in the Cymed 78000 MicroSkin Adhesive Barrier offer enhanced sealing and protection, which can be especially beneficial for people with sensitive skin or high-output stomas. Different washer thicknesses and materials are available, giving you options to tailor your barrier to your personal needs and comfort level.
