Designed to adapt to the needs of different stomas and body types
Convexity allows ostomy skin barriers to:
- Fit a flush or retracted stoma to provide tension as close as possible to the stoma if protrusion of the stoma is needed
- Flatten peristomal skin folds using tension away form the stoma that may interfere with achieving a consistent, reliable seal
- Adapt to each persons unique body and stoma type
5 Characteristics of Convexity 1
Depth
The depth of the convex skin barrier Is defined as the measurement from the apex of the dome to the base.
Compressibility
Compressibility is the capacity of the convex dome to be displaced or flattened.
Flexibility
Flexibility is how easily the convex skin barrier can bend.
Tension Location
Tension location is the position in which the convex dome exerts downward and outward forces on the peristomal topography.
Slope
The slope is the angle from the base of the convex skin barrier to the apex of the dome.

Choose between Durahesive® and Modified Stomahesive®
Liquid output? Try Durahesive®. It's designed for people whose output is mostly liquid. It swells up, or 'turtlenecks' to provide a secure seal and extended wear time.
Semi-formed or formed output? Try Modified Stomahesive®. Ideal for people whose output is semi-formed or formed. It adheres to both dry and moist skin and features a touch of mineral oil that makes the barrier more flexible and easier to remove.
The pouch fabric is water-repellent.
Warm gray color selected to be visually discreet, even under white clothing.
Pouch fabric will hide the contents of the pouch, even when wet.
Modern 8-shaped pouch designed to minimize bulging and sag less as it fills.*
