Ostomy
Esteem™+ Flex Convex
As the latest addition to our range of one-piece ostomy solutions, the Esteem™+ Flex Convex system combines the comfort and freedom of flexibility with the firmness of convexity.
The Esteem™+ Flex Convex system fits the contours of your body, moving with you and helping to give you the confidence to live life the way you want.
All bodies are different. Convex wafers are designed to help manage irregular stomas and abdomens to help to reduce leakage and simplify stoma management.
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
Moves with you – flexible convexity fits to body contours for comfort and easy positioning.
Designed for skin health and security – the hydrocolloid skin barrier is made to stay firmly in place, helping to minimize leakage. Soft tapered edges also help resist snagging on clothing.
You may want to consider using a convex wafer if:
-
You are experiencing leakage
-
Your stoma sits at or below skin level
-
You have skin folds, creases or a soft abdomen
