Indications for Use
This New Image® Flextend cut-to-fit flat skin barrier is intended for ostomates with a regularly shaped stoma of stable diameter that does not require convexity. The added tape border provides extra support to help extend wear time and reduce the risk of edge lifting. The cut-to-fit format allows the opening to be adjusted precisely to the stoma size, up to a maximum of 44mm.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the maximum cut size for this barrier?
This barrier can be cut up to 44mm (1 3/4") in diameter, for a 57mm (2 1/4") coupling.
What does the tape border add?
The tape border adds an extra adhesive area around the perimeter of the barrier, which can improve wear and reduce the risk of edge lifting compared to a version without it.
Is this barrier convex?
No, this is a flat barrier. A convex Flextend version is available separately for stomas requiring convex support.
