This Skin Barrier features Convatec Moldable Technology™ that creates a secure seal around your stoma when you eliminate the need for cutting your skin barrier. The soft, moldable adhesive rolls open to fit the desired stoma size and shape and gently hugs the stoma creating a secure, personalized fit.

Product Features and Benefits:

• No cutting required with Moldable Technology.
  
• Durahesive® Skin Barrier provides added protection from liquid output. Durahesive® Skin Barriers will 'Turtleneck' or gently swell up and hug the stoma, better protecting the skin around your stoma.
• Coupling ring provides audible click confirming secure connection to pouch.
  

Directions For Use:

• Begin by cleansing the peristomal skin with mild soap and water.
  
• Soap should be free of oils and creams.
  
• Rinse the area and pat dry thoroughly.
  
• Your hands and peristomal skin should be clean, dry and free of any solvent or greasy substances before you begin the application process.
  

(a) Application of the skin barrier:

• Measure the stoma using the enclosed stoma measuring guide and select the proper size ConvaTec Moldable Technology™ Natura® skin barrier.
• Remove the skin barrier from the package but do not remove the clear release liner on the circular adhesive cover backing or the white release paper from the flexible fabric collar. Note: This is a moldable product, the use of scissors is not recommended.
  
• To personalize the stoma opening, place your thumbs (or fingers) at the center of the starter hole and begin to roll the adhesive back. Do not stretch the adhesive back. Roll it back and form the adhesive to mirror the shape of your stoma. Periodically hold the skin barrier over your stoma to assess the shape through the clear release liner window. Once you are satisfied that the shape of the skin barrier opening is formed similar to your stoma, gently press the rolled adhesive down on itself.
  
• Find the blue tab and remove the clear release liner from the skin barrier. Immediately center the opening over your stoma and press the skin barrier into place.
  
• The rolled adhesive part should gently snug the wall of the stoma. Therefore, if necessary, re-adjust the rolled adhesive back towards the stoma to create this snug fit.
  
• For optimal performance, press down on the rolled adhesive where it meets the stoma to ensure a good seal. Do this along the entire perimeter of the stoma. Then, hold the circular adhesive in place for at least 30 seconds to secure the barrier to the skin.
  
• Remove the white release paper from the Hydrocolloid Fabric Collar and press against the skin, smoothing out any wrinkles.
  

(b) Pouch application: 

• Before attaching the pouch, allow a small amount of air to enter the pouch by gently separating it. 
  
• Align the plastic ring on the pouch with the ring on the skin barrier. Press the two rings together beginning at the bottom (6 o'clock) working your way up to the top of the ring. Several 'clicks' may be heard. Double check rings are securely snapped together by pressing all the way around the rings a second time.
  

(c) Managing the Hydrocolloid Flexible Fabric Collar during wear: 

• The edges of the collar may roll-up when exposed to water. Simply pat the collar dry, smooth out any wrinkles and press back into place.
  
• Be careful to keep the collar free of any solvents, oils or creams.
  

(d) Skin barrier removal: Support the skin with one hand and gently peel the skin barrier away from your skin. Adhesive Remover Wipes may be used to aid in skin barrier removal and remove any residue left behind.
