Ostomy wafers, also known as skin barriers, play a critical role in ostomy care by securely attaching ostomy pouches while protecting the skin around the stoma. These wafers form a seal to prevent leaks, minimize odors, and protect against skin irritation or breakdown caused by moisture and adhesives. Their proper use ensures better stoma care and improves the quality of life for users.
Ostomy wafers are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials to meet different needs. Pre-cut wafers are ready to use for specific stoma sizes, offering convenience, while cut-to-fit wafers provide flexibility for users with irregular stomas or changing needs. Many options feature advanced adhesive technology to ensure strong attachment while being gentle on sensitive skin.
Some wafers are designed with built-in convexity to provide additional support for recessed or flush stomas, helping to improve the fit and performance of the ostomy system. Flexible and water-resistant materials in many modern wafers enable them to conform to body movements, ensuring security and comfort throughout the day.
