Technology Built Around Your Stoma
Our portfolio of pouching systems has a solution for almost every challenge, so you can find the best combination of performance and features for your ostomy. The right barrier and pouching solutions help support a healthy bond between your body and your stoma.
Moldable Technology
With Convatec Moldable Technology™ Skin Barriers, the only thing you have to cut out is the cutting out. It molds to your stoma for a custom fit every time, with no cutting necessary. The flexible adhesive gently hugs the stoma creating a secure fit with no gaps to help prevent skin complications.
Tri-Laminate Protection
Designed with Three Layers for Extra Protection
- Top Layer: The outside layer with our exclusive Durahesive® technology provides leakage protection. This unique hydrocolloid will ‘turtleneck' or gently swell and hug the stoma when in contact with output, creating a seal for added security and skin protection.
- Middle Layer: The thin center polyethylene film is water-resistant and durable. The Patented Rebounding Memory Technology™ provides elasticity to hug the stoma for a precise and personalized fit. Designed to move with your body, it gently expands and contracts with the stoma as it changes size, for a continuously snug fit.
- Bottom Layer: The bottom side of the skin barrier adheres to the skin with our proprietary Stomahesive® or Durahesive® technologies.These skin-friendly hydrocolloid adhesives form a secure seal to keep the system in place and protect skin from stoma output, for longer wear time.
