Breathability is important in ostomy barriers because it allows moisture vapor to escape, which helps to keep the skin healthy and reduces the risk of irritation or breakdown. The best products use breathable materials, such as the MicroSkin® film found in the Cymed 78000 MicroSkin Adhesive Barrier, which is both moisture-vapor permeable and durable. Having a choice of breathable barriers means you can find a product that supports your skin’s health, especially if you are prone to sweating or live in a humid environment.
