The shape of the barrier—such as flat or convex—affects how well the pouch conforms to the skin and seals around the stoma. Flat barriers are best for even skin surfaces, while convex barriers help with recessed or difficult stomas by providing gentle pressure for a better seal. The Coloplast 12660 Assura Flat Standard Wear Barrier offers a flat barrier shape, which is ideal for most users with a regular stoma and healthy skin. Having options in barrier shape ensures users can achieve a secure, comfortable fit tailored to their body contour.
