A convex insert is designed to add gentle pressure behind your barrier so your stoma can protrude more effectively. This extra support can help reduce leaks and improve your pouch’s adhesion, especially if the stoma sits flush with the skin. Inserts fit into compatible barriers and create a more customized solution when you need targeted convexity.
Convex inserts come in different depths and materials. Some offer light support while others provide a stronger lift. They allow you to fine tune your setup without switching your entire pouching system. If you are dealing with frequent leaks or difficulty getting a good seal, the right insert can make a noticeable difference in comfort and confidence.
- When should I use a convex insert? Inserts are helpful when the stoma is retracted, sits below skin level, or when output tends to seep under the barrier.
- Is an insert the same as a full convex barrier? No. Inserts add targeted support inside your current system, while a full convex barrier provides built in convexity across the entire flange.
- Will a convex insert feel uncomfortable? Most inserts are soft and flexible. Many people find them more comfortable once leaks and skin irritation are reduced.
Explore the collection to find a convex insert that supports a better seal, greater comfort, and an easier daily routine.
