Convatec 404594 Surfit Natura Durahesive Convex Moldable Flexible Wafer 57mm

This product is a Durahesive convex moldable flexible wafer designed for ostomy care. It is part of a two-piece ostomy system, facilitating the attachment and detachment of ostomy pouches. The wafer is constructed with Durahesive technology, a type of hydrocolloid that is formulated to resist breakdown from liquid stoma output.

Instead of degrading, this material is designed to swell, creating a protective barrier around the stoma and enhancing the seal with the skin. This characteristic is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing liquid output, as it helps to maintain skin integrity and a secure fit. The moldable nature of the wafer allows for a customized fit directly around the stoma, eliminating the need for cutting or pre-sizing.

This feature aims to provide a personalized seal, adapting to the unique contours of the peristomal skin. The wafer features a 57mm flange, which is the component that attaches to the ostomy pouch. The opening for the stoma can be adjusted to accommodate openings ranging from 33mm to 45mm in diameter.

The convex shape of the wafer is intended for individuals with stomas that are flush with the skin or retracted, providing a gentle outward pressure to help the appliance adhere effectively and create a better seal. The system is designed for ease of use, allowing for quick pouch changes without the need to remove the skin barrier from the skin. This snap-off, snap-on mechanism is indicated by an audible click, signaling a secure connection between the wafer and the ostomy pouch.
