Ostomy barrier rings and seals are used to help fill gaps, creases, or uneven skin contours around the stoma in an ostomy pouching system. They work with the wafer or skin barrier to help support the seal between the skin and the pouching system.
Barrier rings and seals may be moldable, stretchable, or pre-shaped to fit different stoma sizes, stoma shapes, and peristomal skin areas depending on the product design. They can vary by size, thickness, shape, hydrocolloid composition, adhesive properties, latex content, and compatibility with one-piece or two-piece ostomy systems, so product specifications and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully before ordering.
