Advantages and Characteristics of Hollister Ostomy Products

Modern day ostomy health product manufacturers have insured that you will enjoy the highest quality of life possible without fear of accidents, odor or embarrassment.   Hollister was already a pioneer 35years ago when the company revolutionized ostomy care with the original Karaya seal pouches. Hollister continues to pioneer ostomy products to this day with the advanced New Image™ Two-Piece Ostomy System--which offers low profile and high security.

Hollister Flextend™ skin barrier (wafer)
FlexTend provides ostomates with the longest wear time available. Flextend is a hydrocolloid skin barrier that is designed to be the most resistant to discharge and is the barrier of choice for urostomies and high output ileosotomies. Flextend barriers swell when in contact with liquid discharge. It has a mildly acidic pH (4.5 - 5.0) which may help to control the growth of some skin organisms. Caution: use of a skin sealant (e.g. Skin Gel Protective Dressing Wipes) will decrease the wear time that would be expected.

FlexTend barriers for longest wear times.

Hollister Odor-Barrier Rustle-Free Pouch
Multi layers of odor barrier film protect against noise and rustling, as well as providing maximum protection from odor.

 

Hollister ComfortWear Panel on Body Side
A nonwoven plastic material separates the pouch film from the skin.

Come with FlexWear or SoftFlex skin barriers

Hollister™  CenterPointLock™ Two-Piece Ostomy System
The flange securement is the most secure two-piece ostomy system available.

 

Hollister has the largest selection of convex ostomy products available.

Hollister Floating Flange
The floating flange fits together with little pressure eliminating the need for pressure especially helpful on tender postoperative abdomens.

 

Cut-to-Fit Skin Barrier
A cut to fit barrier or wafer allows the user to cut the skin barrier opening to the size and shape of the stoma.

Convexity Skin Barrier (wafer)
Stomas that are flushed, recessed or retracted fit better with a barrier or wafer with convexity.  The barrier actually pushes slightly into the skin for a better fit. These barriers are either pre-sized or cut-to-fit.

 

Anti-Reflux Valve
Hollister urostomy pouches have an Anti-Reflux valve which is constructed to prevent reflux from the pouch that back towards the stoma.

Drain Valve Open/Closed (Tear Drop) Indicator
Hollister urostomy pouches have a golden teardrop on the adjustable drain valve.  If the teardrop is visible to the wearer, this indicates that the valve is open.
 
Adjustable Drain Valve
Hollister urostomy pouches also have a specially designed valve which permits control over the flow without getting fingers wet. It has a wide bore opening designed to pass mucous plugs if present in the urine.
 

Hollister SoftFlex Skin Barrier (wafer)
SoftFlex is a thin and highly flexible hydrocolloid skin barrier that provides gentle adherence to skin. It is designed for more frequently removed pouches like closed one-piece pouches or when the skin is very fragile (e.g. elderly ostomates). SoftFlex is mildly resistant to breakdown and is best used for low water content discharge (e.g. colostomies).

 

Hollister FlexWear Skin Barrier
FlexWear is a stronger synthetic adhesive and is used most often for pouching changes that are longer than one day.

   

Hollister ElastaFlex Skin Barrier (wafer) Backing
ElastaFlex is an ultra-thin, soft and flexible semi-permeable film that covers the skin barrier. It keeps fluids from eroding the skin barrier.

 
Integral Gas Filter
Hollister's patented gas filter deodorizes and vents gas from within a pouch. It passes gas through a specially designed device consisting of activated carbon.
   

Ultra Thin Skin Barrier (wafer)
The Hollister ultra thin skin barrier provides greater flexibility and moldability to body contours for better fit and comfort.
