411807 SUR-FIT NaturaA® Moldable Flat Skin Barrier

The 411807 SUR-FIT Natura Moldable Flat Skin Barrier is a component of a two-piece ostomy system designed to adhere to the skin surrounding a stoma. This barrier is engineered to provide a secure and customized fit, protecting the peristomal skin from output. The system is designed for individuals requiring ostomy care, facilitating the management of stoma output and promoting skin integrity.

The two-piece nature of the system allows for independent changing of the ostomy pouch while the skin barrier remains in place, offering flexibility in daily activities and pouch management. The moldable technology integrated into this skin barrier allows for a precise fit to the unique contours of the individual's stoma and surrounding skin, minimizing gaps and potential leakage. This custom fit is achieved through the barrier's ability to be shaped and molded directly to the peristomal area.

The barrier is constructed with Durahesive material, which is specifically formulated to manage liquid stoma output. This material exhibits a characteristic swelling response when exposed to liquid, forming a protective seal around the stoma. This phenomenon, known as turtlenecking, enhances the security of the seal and helps to prevent skin irritation and breakdown that can occur with other types of skin barriers when exposed to high volumes of liquid output.

The 70 mm size indicates the diameter of the opening or flange that connects to the ostomy pouch. The flat profile of the barrier is intended for use on flat abdominal surfaces. The audible click mechanism of the SUR-FIT Natura flange system provides confirmation of a secure connection between the skin barrier and the ostomy pouch, offering reassurance to the user or caregiver.

This feature allows for quick and easy pouch changes without disturbing the skin barrier. This product is intended for use by individuals with an ostomy, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals involved in ostomy management, including nurses and stoma care specialists. It is suitable for patients with a stoma that produces mostly liquid output.

Typical applications include daily wear, management of high-output stomas, and situations requiring frequent pouch changes. Usage notes include ensuring the skin is clean and dry before application, proper molding of the barrier to the stoma and peristomal skin, and regular monitoring of the skin barrier and peristomal skin for any signs of irritation or leakage. The barrier should be applied according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimal performance and skin protection.

The Durahesive material requires careful application and removal to avoid skin trauma. The 70 mm flange size is compatible with 70 mm ostomy pouches within the same system.
