Every body is different, and none know that better than a person living with an ostomy or continent diversion. Similar to a convex skin barrier, convex inserts are used to improve management of flush, flat, or retracted stomas. With flat or retracted stomas, delicate peristomal skin is at higher risk of exposure to corrosive bodily fluids. Convex barriers or inserts curve inward like a bell and can help form a complete seal between skin and pouch.

A disposable convex insert is designed to snap into – or mold around the skin beneath – a standard skin barrier or wafter, and press down on the peristomal skin. This helps a flat or retracted stoma to securely reach the ostomy pouch opening for effective elimination while protecting peristomal skin against leakage.  Convex inserts also work to smooth uneven scar tissue and create a smooth seal between pouch and skin.
