Choosing the Right Ostomy Barrier

For best results, select the ostomy barrier with the features that fit your ostomy and body type. Consult with a health care professional if you're not sure which one to choose.

Shape

If your stoma is retracted or flush with the surrounding skin, or if it protrudes less than a quarter-inch from the surrounding skin, convex ostomy skin barriers may be the ideal style for you. If your skin protrudes more than a quarter-inch, a standard ostomy barrier may be a better fit.

Softness

People with softer abdomens often prefer firmer ostomy barriers. Those with firmer abdomens may prefer softer ostomy barriers.

Adhesion

If your output is typically solid and formed, you may want to use ostomy barriers with gentler adhesion. Those who have urostomies or ileostomies and have more of a liquid output may prefer an adhesive designed to seal in liquids.

Size

You'll also want to determine if you should use pre-sized or cut-to-fit ostomy skin barriers. Pre-sized is a convenient option for those who have round stomas that don't change size. Cut-to-fit skin ostomy wafers are best suited for those who have oval or irregular stomas that change size.

Brand Comparison

A health care professional can assist you in selecting the skin barrier that's best for you. Here are some of the top brands' most noteworthy features to consider.

Convatec No cutting required. Moldable Technology™ for customizing a secure fit. Multiple adhesive options.
Hollister Can be cut for a custom fit. Adhesive on both sides. Durable when exposed to moisture or heat.
Coloplast Full circle filter reduces ballooning. Adheres to uneven body areas. Flat, discreet profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ostomy barrier, and why do I need it?

Ostomy skin barriers, also known as ostomy wafers, are layers that protect the sensitive skin surrounding the stoma, prevent leakage, and keep the ostomy pouch securely in place. They're necessary for maintaining health, hygiene, and comfort.

How often should I change my ostomy barrier?

Ostomy barriers are typically changed every 3-4 days, but your health care professional can provide personalized guidance. Be sure to change the barrier before the pouch begins to leak or pull away from the skin.

Are there ostomy barriers suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the Hollister CeraPlus New Image is a popular choice for sensitive skin. You can also use various sprays, creams, and powders to reduce irritation.

Can I shower or swim while wearing an ostomy skin barrier?

Yes, unless a health care professional has advised against it, you can shower or swim while wearing your ostomy barrier. If you shower without your ostomy pouch, you should also remove the barrier. When swimming, if your ostomy barrier isn't waterproof, you may want to add a waterproof cover or waterproof strips.

How to Care for Your Stoma

A health care professional will provide detailed guidance on how to care for your stoma. Here are some general tips and guidelines.

  • Before handling ostomy wafers, pouches, or any other stoma-related product, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
  • When removing ostomy skin barriers, don't pull. Instead, use one hand to push the skin away.
  • Clean the stoma gently with warm water every day. Pat it dry. Ask a health care professional before using soap or wet wipes.
  • To prevent leakage or heaviness, empty your stoma bag when it's one-third full.
  • Talk to a health care professional about dietary recommendations and restrictions.
  • Contact a health care professional if you notice anything unusual.

Tips for Preventing Skin Irritation

Masks for CPAP machines are available in the following configurations:

  • Make sure the skin is completely clean and dry before applying new stoma products.
  • Use creams, powders, or sprays for added protection against irritation or to form a tighter seal.
  • Avoid ostomy skin barriers with materials or ingredients that aggravate your skin.
  • Change your pouch system on a consistent schedule.
  • Be gentle when removing and replacing stoma products.
