Flexi-Seal™ Family of Products
Flexi-Seal™ family of products are temporary fecal diversion and containment systems.
In a critical-care setting, where patients are temporarily bedridden, incontinence presents numerous challenges to the nursing staff.1
The risk of skin breakdown and infection is a concern.2 Patients in this setting may feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.1 The goal is to improve patient comfort and protect their skin in the most dignified, safe, effective, and cost-efficient method.
In bedridden patients with liquid or semiliquid stool, Flexi-Seal™ FMS is designed to
- Reduce the risk of skin breakdown by effective fecal diversion and containment
- Protect wounds, surgical sites, and burns from fecal soiling
- Minimize the chance of tissue necrosis via a soft balloon design*
- Minimize soiling of bed cloths and linens through effective fecal diversion and containment
