A convex ostomy wafer is used to help support the fit and seal of an ostomy pouching system around the stoma. Its curved or outward-shaped medical skin barrier design is different from a flat wafer and may help the pouching system sit more securely against the skin.
Convex wafers may be used in pouching systems where a specific barrier shape is needed around the stoma opening, such as some flat, flush, or recessed stoma situations, based on healthcare guidance. Product details should be reviewed carefully to confirm convex depth, firmness, opening size, adhesive style, flange size, and pouch compatibility before ordering.
