A well-fitting skin barrier is your best defense against skin complications. Skin barriers provide the necessary wall between your skin and stoma output, allowing you to remain secure, comfortable and irritation-free.1
To ensure the best fit between your skin barrier and stoma, make sure you monitor changes in your stoma's size and shape. As your stoma changes, you may need to adjust the size of your skin barrier and pouching system, or switch to a new system or skin barrier. Your ostomy nurse can help you set up a measuring routine and also assist with any necessary size or system changes.
