Why use a Barrier Ring?

A barrier ring is used in ostomy care to create a secure and comfortable seal around the stoma, filling in gaps and irregularities between the stoma and the ostomy skin barrier or wafer. It prevents leaks, directs stoma output into the ostomy pouch, and reduces the risk of skin irritation and breakdown by maintaining a drier environment. The barrier ring's adaptability to stoma shape ensures a proper fit for varying stoma sizes, leading to extended wear time of the ostomy appliance and protection of the peristomal skin. Overall, the barrier ring is an essential tool in ostomy management, providing individuals with an ostomy the comfort, security, and skin protection necessary for a better quality of life.

How to use Ostomy Barrier Rings?

• Gather Supplies: Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary supplies, including the Hollister Adapt Ostomy Barrier Rings, ostomy skin barrier or wafer, ostomy pouch or bag, and any other accessories you may need for your ostomy appliance change.
• Clean the Stoma Area: Start by cleaning the skin around the stoma with mild soap and water. Pat the area dry with a soft, clean towel. Ensuring the skin is clean and dry is essential for proper adhesion of the barrier ring.
• Mold the Barrier Ring: Remove the barrier ring from its protective backing. Gently mold it into a ring shape using your fingers. Ensure the barrier ring is soft and pliable for easier application around the stoma.
• Place the Barrier Ring: Carefully place the molded barrier ring directly around the stoma on the cleaned and dried skin. Make sure the ring adheres smoothly to the skin without any gaps or creases.
• Press Firmly: After positioning the barrier ring, press down gently but firmly on the entire surface of the ring to ensure proper adhesion.
• Apply the Ostomy Skin Barrier or Wafer: Now, apply the ostomy skin barrier or wafer over the barrier ring and the stoma. Press it firmly onto the barrier ring to create a secure seal.
• Attach the Ostomy Pouch or Bag: Once the ostomy skin barrier is in place, attach the ostomy pouch or bag to the skin barrier or wafer. Ensure that the pouch is securely attached to avoid any leaks.
• Check for Proper Fit and Comfort: After application, ensure that the ostomy appliance fits comfortably and securely. Check for any signs of leaks, and make adjustments if necessary.
