McKesson Skin Barrier Strips are designed to secure ostomy pouches while protecting sensitive peristomal skin. These pre-cut, pre-shaped strips feature a water-resistant, absorbent hydrocolloid adhesive that maintains adhesion even during bathing or swimming. Their curved design in 1/2-arc and 1/3-arc shapes makes it easy to “picture-frame” the flange for a secure fit. Thin edges prevent roll-up, enhancing comfort and allowing free movement. Suitable for direct application on the skin or over the pouch to hold it in place, these strips remove easily and gently, minimizing skin trauma and making them ideal for patients with tape sensitivities. For best results, apply McKesson skin barrier film to the peristomal area before use.
