Product Description
The Hollister 14603 New Image Flat Flextend Skin Barrier is a premium medical-grade solution designed for individuals requiring reliable and long-lasting ostomy care. As an extended-wear barrier, the Flextend material is specifically engineered to resist erosion from stoma output, making it an ideal choice for urostomies or ileostomies where discharge may be more frequent or liquid. This barrier provides a secure seal that protects the peristomal skin from irritation while maintaining its integrity over several days of use.
One of the standout features of this two-piece system is the integrated beige floating flange. This unique design allows you to slide your fingers underneath the flange while attaching a pouch, significantly reducing pressure on the abdomen and making the application process much more comfortable, especially for those with recent incisions or sensitive skin. The cut-to-fit opening provides complete flexibility, allowing the user to trim the barrier to their exact stoma shape and size up to 1-3/4 inches. With an added adhesive tape border, the barrier conforms naturally to body contours, ensuring a discreet and confident fit for active daily life.
FAQ
Q1. What is the difference between Hollister Flextend and FlexWear barriers?
Ans: Flextend is an extended-wear barrier designed to be more durable and resistant to erosion, making it better for high-output stomas or urostomies. FlexWear is a standard-wear barrier designed for more frequent changes and general ostomy use.
Q2. Can I use any ostomy pouch with the Hollister 14603 barrier?
Ans: This barrier is part of a two-piece system and must be used with Hollister New Image pouches that share the same 2-1/4 inch (57 mm) flange size. It is not compatible with other brands or different Hollister product lines like Premier.
Q3. How long can I wear the Flextend skin barrier before changing it?
Ans: While wear time varies based on stoma output and skin type, the Flextend material is designed for extended use and can typically be worn for several days, often longer than standard barriers, without losing its seal.
Q4. Are these Hollister products genuine USA imports available in India?
Ans: Yes, all Hollister products sold on Rudra Retails are authentic and sourced directly from the USA. We ensure that Indian customers receive genuine medical supplies in their original international packaging.
Q5. What does 'cut-to-fit' mean for this specific model?
Ans: Cut-to-fit means the center hole is not pre-sized. You can trim the opening to any size or shape needed to match your stoma, up to a maximum diameter of 1-3/4 inches (44 mm).
