Description
The Hollister Adapt CeraPlus Convex Barrier Rings are designed to help create a secure, leak-resistant seal for individuals with flush, retracted, or irregular stomas. Infused with ceramide, a natural component of human skin, these rings support the skin’s moisture barrier and help reduce transepidermal water loss, promoting healthier peristomal skin and more confident wear time.
