Ostomy Barrier New Image FlexWear Precut, Standard Wear Without Tape 57 mm Flange Red Code System 1-1/4 Inch Opening | 5/Box

Overview

The Hollister New Image FlexWear Ostomy Barrier (57 mm flange, red color code, 1-1/4 inch pre-cut opening, standard wear without tape) is a two-piece convex skin barrier engineered for ostomates whose stomas are recessed, retracted, or flush with the abdominal surface. The cross-linked FlexWear hydrocolloid resists corrosive output for dependable standard-wear cycles, while the integrated soft convexity gently flares the peristomal skin to project the stoma forward and minimize undermining. Hollister's proprietary Floating Flange eliminates pressure on tender post-operative abdomens by allowing the New Image pouch to snap on without pushing against the abdomen. Distributed by McKesson under SKU 474636 (manufacturer reference 15506), this 5/Box appliance ships without an outer adhesive tape border for users who prefer a lower-profile, skin-only attachment.

Key Features & Benefits

• Built-in soft convexity: Pre-formed convex shape adds security and skin protection for recessed, retracted, and flush stomas.
• Floating Flange technology: Lets the user snap pouches onto the barrier without exerting pressure on tender post-operative abdomens.
• Cross-linked FlexWear hydrocolloid: Long-wearing skin barrier that resists corrosive ileostomy or urostomy effluent.
• Pre-cut 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) opening: Ready to wear without scissors for circular stomas of this size.
• 57 mm red color-coded flange: Quickly identifiable in mixed New Image inventory for fast pouch-changes.
• Standard-wear formulation: Optimized for typical 3-4 day wear cycles in the average ostomate.
• Without-tape design: Lower-profile barrier for users with adhesive sensitivities or who prefer skin-only attachment.
• Two-piece convenience: Pouch can be changed without disturbing the barrier, sparing peristomal skin from repeat removal trauma.
• Hollister manufacturing, McKesson distribution: Trusted ostomy brand backed by reliable medical supply logistics.

Usage & Application

Confirm the stoma fits a 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) opening using the supplied measuring guide; this barrier is pre-cut and not intended to be re-sized. Clean the peristomal skin with warm water (no oily wipes or moisturizers), pat fully dry, and remove the release liner from the FlexWear hydrocolloid. Center the convex barrier over the stoma and press firmly outward from the center for 30-60 seconds, allowing body heat to activate the adhesive. Snap a compatible 57 mm New Image pouch onto the Floating Flange - audible confirmation indicates a secure attachment without pressing into the abdomen. Replace the barrier every 3-4 days or sooner if leakage, itching, or burning occurs.

User Experience

WOC nurses praise the Floating Flange for new ostomates whose surgical sites are still tender, since the pouch can be coupled without pushing on the abdominal wall. Patients with recessed or flush stomas describe noticeably fewer leaks compared with flat barriers, and long-term wearers appreciate that the cross-linked FlexWear retains its integrity through showers, exercise, and high-output episodes. The without-tape construction is favored by those with sensitive perimeter skin or who simply want a lower-profile silhouette under fitted clothing.
