Enjoy More Flexibility with Esteem™+ Flex and Soft Convex
What is convexity?
There are two types of skin barriers within ostomy pouching systems1:
- Flat - a skin barrier which is flat against the skin surface.
- Convex - an outward curving of the skin barrier towards the skin.2,3
All bodies are different. Convex skin barriers are designed to help manage irregular stomas and abdomens to help reduce leakage and simplify stoma management.
The Esteem™+ Flex convex system combines the comfort and freedom of flexibility with the firmness of convexity. The Esteem™+ Soft convex system combines flexibility with a shallow convexity.
Esteem
Flex Convex

Esteem
Soft Convex
The preferred convexity for firm or toned abdomens and flush or protruding stomas.

Think convexity may be right for you?
- Are you experiencing leakage?
- Does your stoma sit at or below skin level?
- Do you have skin folds, creases or a soft abdomen?
- You may want to consider using a convex wafer.
