Product description Elastic Barrier Strips for Ostomy Colostomy Bags, Skin Barrier Extenders Tape for Ileostomy Urostomy Stoma Bag Why do you need ostomy barrier strips? Ostomy Barrier Strips, also called Barrier Extenders, are designed to be placed around the barrier plate/flange. This adds security to the barrier/wafer, customizing your fit on uneven or bulging skin, as well as stomas with a surrounding fistula or wound. They are flexible, self-adhesive and often crescent-shaped. Barrier strips can also help reduce the risk of leaks and increase wear time by widening the adhesion coverage area and keeping the barrier edge from lifting. The flexible hydrocolloid formulation allows them to absorb moisture that could compromise the integrity of the skin barrier seal. Two barrier extenders can usually reinforce the entire outer edge of the wafer, but you can use as many as you feel are necessary. See More
