Description
This is a two-piece pouching system intended for individuals with a colostomy or ileostomy. It comprises a FlexWear skin barrier (35500) that attaches to the skin and a separate drainable pouch (25760) for collecting output. The system is designed to provide a secure connection and discretion, allowing the pouch to be changed without removing the skin barrier.
Two-Piece Pouching System: Consists of a separate skin barrier and pouch, which allows for changing the pouch without removing the barrier from the skin. FlexWear Skin Barrier: A standard wear barrier designed for good adhesion and more than one day of wear time, featuring a cut-to-fit opening to match the stoma size. Floating Flange: The skin barrier includes an integrated floating flange, which allows fingers to be placed underneath it to help minimize pressure on the abdomen when attaching the pouch. Drainable Pouch: The pouch features a Lock 'n Roll closure that uses plastic interlocking fasteners for a secure closure at the bottom, simplifying emptying and cleaning. Audible Security: The coupling system provides confidence by creating a series of audible clicks to confirm the pouch is securely locked to the skin barrier.
