413161 SUR-FIT Natura® Durahesive® Skin Barrier Flange with White Tape Collar

The 413161 SUR-FIT Natura Durahesive Skin Barrier Flange with White Tape Collar is a component designed for ostomy care. It serves as a crucial interface between the stoma and an ostomy pouching system. This particular model is a two-piece system, meaning the skin barrier is separate from the ostomy pouch, allowing for individual replacement of either component as needed.

The Durahesive material is formulated to adhere securely to the skin while providing a protective barrier against output from the stoma. The flange design incorporates a white tape collar, which offers additional security and helps to ensure a proper seal when attaching the ostomy pouch. The barrier is designed to be cut-to-fit, allowing users to customize the opening to match the specific size and shape of their stoma, thereby minimizing skin irritation and leakage.

The 45mm (1¾") size refers to the diameter of the flange, which is a standard measurement in ostomy appliance sizing. This product is intended for use by individuals who have undergone a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. It is a critical component in managing output and protecting the peristomal skin from potential damage caused by stomal output.

The Durahesive material is known for its ability to adhere to moist skin and conform to body contours, contributing to user comfort and security. The white tape collar provides a visible indicator of a secure attachment and can offer an extra layer of confidence for the user. The two-piece nature of this system allows for greater flexibility in pouch changes, as the pouch can be detached and reattached without disturbing the skin barrier, which is beneficial for skin health.

The cut-to-fit feature is essential for achieving an optimal fit, as stoma sizes can change over time or vary significantly between individuals. Proper application involves carefully measuring the stoma and cutting the barrier to the correct size, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit around the stoma. The barrier should be applied to clean, dry peristomal skin.

The white tape collar should be used to secure the pouch to the flange, creating a complete seal. This product is typically used by patients managing ostomies, as well as by healthcare professionals such as ostomy nurses, wound care specialists, and home health aides who assist patients with ostomy care. Typical applications include daily wear for individuals with a stoma, providing a secure and comfortable solution for managing stomal output.

It is also used in clinical settings during ostomy appliance changes and patient education. Important usage notes include ensuring the skin is clean and dry before application, cutting the opening to the correct stoma size, and checking the seal regularly to prevent leakage. The Durahesive material is designed for extended wear, but regular monitoring of the skin and the barrier's integrity is recommended.

Discontinuation of use and consultation with a healthcare professional should occur if any signs of skin irritation, allergic reaction, or leakage are observed. The product is intended for single patient use.
