Ostomy barrier rings are moldable ostomy accessories used around the stoma to help improve the fit of an ostomy pouching system. They are placed between the skin and the wafer or skin barrier to help create a seal and fill small gaps, creases, or uneven skin contours around the stoma opening.
Barrier rings may also be called ostomy seals, ring seals, or moldable seals depending on the product. They can vary by diameter, thickness, shape, barrier material, moldability, stretchability, latex content, adhesive properties, and compatibility with specific ostomy pouches, wafers, or skin barriers, so product specifications and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully before ordering.
