Product description
Barrier rings are designed to protect the peristomal skin. The barrier ring will help fill in uneven skin surfaces to enhance the fit of the skin barrier and help prevent leakage of stoma output under the skin barrier.
If your stoma is oval or irregularly shaped simply pull or stretch the ring to the right shape.
The rings can either be placed around the stoma before applying the wafer, or to the wafer directly (after you remove the release liner on the wafer).
They tend to be quite sticky, and should be applied to dry, unbroken skin for best results.
Because these rings are pliable (like Play-Doh), they can be molded around your stoma for the perfect fit.
It’s best to use gentle pressure over your appliance after fitting it on top of the barrier ring, for a few minutes. This will help the ring stick to your skin better, and will allow the wafer to stick better to the ring! (credits to veganostomy.ca)
