Hollister CeraPlus Flat Skin Barrier Cut-to-Fit 1-1/4 - Skin

Our review of the Hollister CeraPlus Flat Skin Barrier finds it best suited to ostomy users who prioritize skin protection and a customizable fit. The single biggest reason to buy is its ceramide-infused formulation, which aims to protect the skin's natural moisture barrier and reduce the risk of dryness and irritation around the stoma. This pack of five flat barriers is cut-to-fit up to 1-3/4 in, so it works well for users who need a specific opening size without an adhesive border.

Key Features

• Ceramide-infused barrier: Helps protect the skin's natural moisture barrier to slow water loss and reduce dryness that can lead to irritation.
• Cut-to-fit design: Allows trimming the opening precisely up to 1-3/4 in so users can match their stoma size without excess material.
• Flat skin barrier construction: Offers extended wear for users who prefer a low-profile, flush option against the abdomen.
• No natural rubber latex: Reduces the risk of latex-related allergic reactions for sensitive users.
• Five pack convenience: Provides multiple replacements which is practical for routine supply rotation and travel.

Who It's For

The CeraPlus flat skin barrier is ideal for ostomy patients and caregivers who need a customizable, low-profile ostomy skin barrier and who are concerned about maintaining skin moisture and integrity. It suits people who trim their barrier to size and prefer a flat option rather than a convex or pre-cut appliance.

Those who require very long wear beyond a couple of days or who consistently experience adhesion failures may want to consider complementary adhesive products or alternative barrier types designed for heavy perspiration or uneven body surfaces. Users who prefer a pre-cut, ready-to-use flange should look at other options.
