Choosing the Right Products for Your Patients
Convatec Moldable Technology™
Does your patient have a stoma that is irregular in shape? Our moldable skin barriers securely and gently move with and respond to the stoma as it changes after surgery, and day by day. Other skin barriers don't respond in this way.
To protect the skin, a skin barrier needs to fit snugly around the stoma, leaving no gaps that could provide an inroad between the barrier and the skin, and exposing the skin to the damaging effects of effluent.1,2
- Patented Rebounding Memory Technology™ molds to the stoma for a custom fit every time, responding and rebounding to size fluctuations.
- The LEAK-LOCK™ system provides a snug “turtleneck” effect for leakage control. The barrier absorbs liquid output and swells around the stoma for ultimate security.
- Our skin barriers are made with our acclaimed Durahesive® and Stomahesive® adhesives, to keep them secure and give your patient peace of mind.
Esteem®+ One-Piece Systems
Flexible and discreet, the Esteem®+ one-piece system is the all-in-one solution that combines the skin barrier and pouch in a single unit. Available in multiple adhesive technologies that gently adhere to skin and protect skin from breakdown. The Esteem®+ one piece pouching system includes:
- Filter with an anti-clogging film layer.
- InvisiClose® clipless tail closure with a strong hook-on-hook fastener.
- The Lock-It-Pocket™ which securely hides away the tail of the drainable pouch to provide the comfort of a closed-end pouch.
