The Benefits of Using Ostomy Barrier Strips
Have you been living with your colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy for a while? If so, you’re probably aware of how the edges of an ostomy wafer can sometimes lose its stickiness and begin to lift away from the skin after prolonged wear-time.
Ostomy barrier strips keep your ostomy wafer in place while providing longer wear-time, even when bathing, swimming, and sweating.
To combat lifting, you can use barrier strips by applying them around the edges of your ostomy skin barrier or wafer. ESENTA™ strips have key features and benefits that provide comfort, movability, and security.
What are ESENTA™ Hydrocolloid Strips?
These thin, flexible barrier strips work to keep your ostomy skin barrier in place all day, providing comfort and peace of mind.
The top layer of each strip is water-resistant while staying breathable, which makes ESENTA™ Hydrocolloid Strips great for bathing and swimming. No more fears about sudden leaks from loosening ostomy appliances, whether you’re having fun at the pool or just showering.
If you’ve ever had issues with other barrier strips, ESENTA™ Hydrocolloid Strips might be worth trying.
Why? They’re breathable, thin, and move with your body. These barrier strips were created with hydrocolloid materials to look and feel like second skin. Some wearers say they barely even feel them during the day.
