Many ostomy barrier rings can be used with colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy pouching systems when the product is compatible with the specific setup. These rings and seals are placed between the skin and the wafer or skin barrier to help support the seal around the stoma opening.
Compatibility can depend on ostomy type, stoma output, pouching system, wafer shape, barrier material, ring dimensions, thickness, adhesive properties, latex content, and one-piece or two-piece system design. Product specifications and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully to confirm whether a specific barrier ring or seal is suitable for the ostomy pouch, wafer, or skin barrier being used.
