Ostomy barrier rings and seals are available in different shapes and profiles, including round, oval, strip, wrap-around, flat, and convex options. These products are used around the stoma as part of an ostomy pouching system to help support the fit between the skin and the wafer or skin barrier.
Round and oval rings may fit different stoma shapes, while moldable strips or wrap-around seals can be shaped to help fill gaps, folds, creases, or uneven skin contours. Flat and convex profiles may be used for different skin contours or stoma protrusion needs depending on the product design, so product specifications and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully to confirm shape, thickness, barrier material, adhesive properties, latex content, and compatibility with the selected ostomy pouching system.
