Essential Shield & Secure Seal
Your skin barrier (also called a wafer or flange) is the cornerstone of a two‑piece pouching system. It adheres to the skin around your stoma, protecting it from output and creating a dependable base to snap or seal your pouch onto.
Why a Great Skin Barrier Matters
-
Protects fragile skin
It forms a reliable barrier that resists stoma output—essential for keeping peristomal skin healthy. -
Prevents leaks
A snug, accurate fit around the stoma ensures output flows into the pouch, not under the wafer . -
Supports pouch attachment
The barrier provides a secure flange or coupling ring that locks the pouch in place—often with a reassuring “click”. -
Extends barrier wear time
Since you can detach and replace the pouch without removing the wafer, the barrier can last safely for several days.
