Q: What is the purpose of the Hollister Conform 2 FlexWear Skin Barrier?
A: This skin barrier is a component of a two-piece ostomy pouching system. Its primary functions are to protect the skin surrounding the stoma from output and to securely attach a compatible ostomy pouch.
Q: What does 'cut-to-fit' mean for this product?
A: This barrier is a 'cut-to-fit' model, which means you can cut the central opening to precisely match the size and shape of your stoma, for openings between 13 mm and 25 mm.
Q: How does the floating flange feature work?
A: The integrated floating flange is designed to allow you to place your fingers under the flange when attaching the pouch. This helps to minimize direct pressure on the abdomen, which can be beneficial, especially for those with post-operative tenderness.
Q: How long can the FlexWear barrier be worn?
A: The FlexWear barrier is designed for extended wear, meaning it provides adhesion that allows it to be worn for more than one day, though the actual wear time can vary from person to person.
Q: Is this a complete ostomy system?
A: No, this product is only the skin barrier. It must be used with a compatible Hollister Conform 2 ostomy pouch with the same flange size to create a complete two-piece pouching system.

Safety Information/Precaution
It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional or stoma care nurse for assistance with your pouching system or if skin irritation occurs. If the barrier is not fitted correctly or if leakage happens, it may lead to skin damage. Apply the barrier to clean, dry, and intact skin only. Avoid using lotions on the skin as they can interfere with the barrier's adhesion. If you experience leaking, or if the skin around the stoma becomes sore or itchy, change your pouching system as soon as possible.
