Hi everyone. With so many ostomy brands and products out there, it can be overwhelming to find the best fit for you. I want to focus on Hollister's CeraPlus line today, specifically the technology behind it.
What is CeraPlus?
Hollister's CeraPlus products integrate ceramides into their skin barriers (the part that sticks to you). Ceramides are naturally occurring components of your skin, and they help with:
- Skin Hydration: Ceramides retain moisture, preventing dryness that can lead to irritation.
- Barrier Function: They enhance your skin's natural protective barrier against irritants and leaks.
- Comfort: Skin that's well-protected and hydrated leads to greater overall comfort.
Who Benefits Most
- Sensitive Skin: If you struggle with irritation, CeraPlus could be a huge relief.
- Active Lifestyles: The extra security might be ideal for those who sweat often or do sports.
- Anyone Needing Reliability: CeraPlus offers longer wear times and stronger adhesion for extra peace of mind.
Product Options
Hollister offers a range of CeraPlus products:
- Wafers: One-piece or two-piece systems with flat or convex options to suit various body shapes.
- Pouches: Different styles, drainable or closed-end, with odor-barrier filters.
- Accessories: Adhesive removers, belts, and more are also available in the CeraPlus line.
Our customers share their experience
While everyone is different, most of our customers noticed a significant reduction in skin irritation when switching to CeraPlus. The adhesive is incredibly gentle, yet it sticks like a champ!
Important Note: Not all CeraPlus products are right for everyone. Always work with your ostomy nurse to find the best individual fit for you.
If you're looking for ostomy supplies that prioritize skin health and offer strong adhesion, Hollister CeraPlus is definitely worth considering. Remember, the best way to know if it's right for you is to request samples and give it a try.
