Flextend Skin Barrier
Flextend is a hydrocolloid skin barrier that is designed to be the most resistant to discharge and is the barrier of choice for urostomies and high output ileosotomies. Flextend barriers swell when in contact with liquid discharge. It has a mildly acidic pH (4.5 - 5.0) which may help to control the growth of some skin organisms. |

| Please note that use of a skin sealant (e.g. Skin Gel Protective Dressing Wipes, Series 7917) will decrease the wear time that would be expected. |

| CONVEXITY |
Integrated Convexity
This is the outward curving of the portion of the pouch that has contact with the skin, usually the skin barrier. The convex shape provides form to the skin barrier and support to the skin surrounding the stoma. |
|
| Convex skin barriers are used for stomas that are flush, recessed or retracted for any number of reasons. These skin barriers are either cut-to-fit or pre-cut and are available in many of the above solutions. |
|
| Convex appliances should be used in consultation with your Stomal Therapy Nurse or Healthcare Professional. |
