ADAPT OSTOMY BARRIER RING

About ADAPT OSTOMY BARRIER RING

Adapt Ostomy Barrier Rings are medical supplies designed to improve the fit and seal of ostomy systems. Here are some key points about these rings:

• Adapt Flat Barrier Rings: These rings offer a flexible, gentle, and moldable solution for filling in uneven skin around a barrier and improving the ostomy system™s fit. They can be cut into different shapes, folded over, stretched out, molded, or stacked to fill in uneven peristomal skin and improve the fit of the barrier plate. They are available in different sizes, such as 2" and 4" outer diameters.

• Adapt Slim Ostomy Barrier Ring: This version is 2.3 mm thick, which is half the thickness of a standard Adapt barrier. It is ideal for those who prefer a thinner ostomy ring, as it prevents the need to flatten or manipulate the material like a standard barrier would require. It is also more discreet under the ostomy wafer and can be cut or stretched to fit the body.

• Usage and Benefits: Adapt Barrier Rings can be used to fill in or caulk uneven skin contours near the stoma to create a flatter surface and help prevent ostomy drainage from getting under the ostomy barrier. They are alcohol-free and will not cause pain when used on irritated skin. They are not designed for reuse and would not adhere well if reapplied.

• Material: The rings are made from a latex-free elastic material that is gentle, flexible, and ideal for patients with sensitive skin or reduced dexterity. They can be worn for swimming and bathing and are hydrocolloid-based, offering longer-lasting wear.

• Application: Before applying the ring, the skin should be washed and dried thoroughly. The ring can be secured without tape and can be applied to the adhesive area of the ostomy pouching system. If the ring is too big for the stoma, it can be made smaller by cutting away a section and pressing the cut ends back together.
