Barriers with convexity are designed to support stomas that sit flush with the skin or pull inward. The curved shape provides gentle pressure that helps the stoma protrude, which can improve the seal and reduce leaks. If you have issues with output getting under the barrier, convexity may offer the stability you need.
Convex barriers come in different depths including light, moderate, and deep. The right choice depends on your stoma shape and how much support you need. Both one piece and two piece systems offer convex options, so you can choose what works best for your routine and comfort level.
- When should I use barriers with convexity? They are helpful if your stoma is retracted, sits low, or if you experience frequent leaks.
- Is convexity uncomfortable? Most styles use soft materials that provide support without pressure points. Many people find them more comfortable once leaks are reduced.
- How do I know which convex depth I need? Light convexity works for mild support, while deep convexity helps with fully retracted stomas. Your skin, body shape, and pouching system all play a role.
Explore the collection to find barriers with convexity that offer a better seal, secure wear, and added confidence throughout your day.
