Description
The Bao Health Skin Barrier Flange is a component of a two-piece ostomy system designed for individuals with a colostomy or ileostomy. This flat skin barrier is formulated to adhere to the skin around the stoma, helping to protect it from output and maintain its natural moisture barrier.

This system allows the pouch to be changed without removing the skin barrier.
Floating Flange Design: Features a flexible coupling system that allows for pouch connection with minimal pressure on the abdomen, enhancing comfort. Hydrocolloid Skin Barrier: Incorporates a Cureguard hydrocolloid adhesive that is formulated to be gentle on the skin while providing a secure seal to protect it from stoma output. Customizable Fit: The skin barrier is designed to be custom cut to fit stomas up to 45 mm, ensuring a proper seal around the stoma. Two-Piece System: As part of a two-piece system, the flange allows for pouches to be changed without removing the skin barrier from the body. Flexible Material: The barrier is made of a soft and flexible material that conforms well to body shapes and movements.

Key Benefits
The floating flange is engineered for application with minimal abdominal pressure, which may increase comfort, especially for tender post-operative areas. It helps to protect the peristomal skin's natural moisture barrier and maintain good skin health. The hydrocolloid material provides a secure seal, which helps to prevent leakage and skin irritation from stoma output. The two-piece design allows for the pouch to be changed independently of the skin barrier, reducing the frequency of adhesive removal from the skin.

Direction for Use/Dosage
It is advisable to seek guidance from a stoma care nurse or other healthcare professional for personalized instructions. Clean the skin around the stoma with warm water and pat it completely dry; avoid using soaps with oils or alcohol. Use a measuring guide to determine the stoma size and cut the opening on the skin barrier to fit, leaving a small margin of skin visible. Remove the protective film from the adhesive on the skin barrier. Center the barrier over the stoma and press it firmly against the skin for 30 to 60 seconds to ensure a secure seal. Attach the pouch to the flange by aligning the coupling rings and pressing them together until a click is felt, indicating a secure connection.
