ConvaTec 404593 (45mm) SUR-FIT Natura Moldable Durahesive Convex Skin Barrier

• • Ref # 404593

• • Size: 45mm (1¾") flange (Medium)

• • For stoma opening: 22-33mm

• • Color: White

• • Mold-to-fit, SUR-FIT Natura Durahesive® Convex Skin Barrier with Flange and Acrylic Tape Collar

• • For the management of stoma output in people with an ostomy.

• • Durahesive® skin barriers are ideal for people whose stoma output is mostly liquid.

• • Built-in convexity provides extra protection for recessed, retracted or flush stomas. Convexity pushes against the abdomen, causing the stoma to protrude.

• • White fabric collar increases flexibility.

• • Starter hole rolls back to create opening for stoma.

• • Stomahesive® Technology™ skin-side layer holds securely yet gently to skin while the Durahesive® Technology™ top-side layer provides added protection from caustic output.

• • Durahesive® Skin Barriers create a snug “turtleneck” effect for leakage control. The barrier absorbs liquid output and swells around the stoma for added security.

• • The plastic coupling ring allows the pouch and skin barrier to snap together for audible security and added peace of mind.

• • Just roll back the adjustable seal with your thumbs for a personalized and custom fit around stoma.

• • Easy to use and easy to fit. Even saves time!

• • No need for scissors, cutting, guesswork, etc.

• • Minimizes leakage issues with its LEAK-LOCK™ Technology.

• • Protects peristomal skin. 95% of people who started with a ConvaTec Moldable Skin Barrier kept their skin healthy.*

• • Patented Rebounding Memory Technology™ expands and contracts with a functioning stoma, responding and rebounding to size fluctuations.

• • Tri-laminate protection: A triple-layer design for added security and convenience.

Directions For Use :

Begin by cleansing the peristomal skin with mild soap and water. Soap should be free of oils and creams. Rinse the area and pat dry thoroughly. Your hands and peristomal skin should be clean, dry and free of any solvent or greasy substances before you begin the application process.

Application of the Skin Barrier

1. Measure the stoma: Measure the stoma using the enclosed stoma measuring guide and select the proper size ConvaTec Moldable Technology™ Natura® skin barrier.
2. Take skin barrier out of package: Remove the skin barrier from the package but do not remove the clear release liner on the circular adhesive cover backing or the white release paper from the flexible fabric collar. Note: This is a moldable product; the use of scissors is not recommended.
3. Roll and press: To personalize the stoma opening, place your thumbs (or fingers) at the center of the starter hole and begin to roll the adhesive back. Do not stretch the adhesive back. Roll it back and form the adhesive to mirror the shape of your stoma. Periodically hold the skin barrier over your stoma to assess the shape through the clear release liner window. Once you are satisfied that the shape of the skin barrier opening is formed similar to your stoma, gently press the rolled adhesive down on itself.
4. Remove liner and place on skin: Find the blue tab and remove the clear release liner from the skin barrier. Immediately center the opening over your stoma and press the skin barrier into place.
5. Snug adhesive against stoma: The rolled adhesive part should gently snug the wall of the stoma. Therefore, if necessary, re-adjust the rolled adhesive back towards the stoma to create this snug fit.
6. Press and hold: For optimal performance, press down on the rolled adhesive where it meets the stoma to ensure a good seal. Do this along the entire perimeter of the stoma. Then, hold the circular adhesive in place for at least 30 seconds to secure the barrier to the skin.
7. Remove white tape border: Remove the white release paper from the Hydrocolloid Fabric Collar and press against the skin, smoothing out any wrinkles.

Pouch Application

Prepare Pouch: Before attaching the pouch, allow a small amount of air to enter the pouch by gently separating it.

Align rings and snap together: Align the plastic ring on the pouch with the ring on the skin barrier. Press the two rings together beginning at the bottom (6 o’clock) working your way up to the top of the ring. Several “clicks” may be heard. Double check rings are securely snapped together by pressing all the way around the rings a second time.

Managing the Hydrocolloid Flexible Fabric Collar During Wear

The edges of the collar may roll-up when exposed to water. Simply pat the collar dry, smooth out any wrinkles and press back into place.

Be careful to keep the collar free of any solvents, oils or creams
