McKesson 176-5725 Skin Barrier-1/2 Arc Strip (CS/280)

Essential Protection for Peristomal Skin
The McKesson Skin Barrier ½ Arc Strip is designed to offer essential protection for the skin surrounding ostomy sites. This innovative product not only secures the pouch effectively but also safeguards the peristomal skin from potential irritants. Its robust design is based on end-users’ needs, ensuring long-lasting adherence without compromising skin integrity. Whether for daily wear or active lifestyles, this barrier is crafted to meet a variety of needs and preferences, providing reassurance and comfort.

Outstanding Features for Comfort and Security
One of the standout features of the McKesson Skin Barrier Strip is its water-resistant surface, complemented by a gentle, absorbent hydrocolloid adhesive. This unique combination allows for effective moisture management without the fear of losing adhesion, even when swimming or bathing. The pre-cut, pre-shaped design of the strip promotes ease of application, while the high-tack adhesion ensures that users can trust its performance throughout the day. The product is tailored for users who value both practicality and comfort in their ostomy care.

Versatile Usage for Various Needs
The curved, ½-arc shape of the McKesson Skin Barrier Strip is intentionally designed to “picture-frame” the flange of the pouching system. This thoughtful design allows for versatility in application; it can be securely placed directly on the skin as a barrier, or it can be used over the pouch to enhance stability. Additionally, ease of removal is a key characteristic of this product, as it is engineered to minimize trauma to the skin that often accompanies frequent removal of adhesives. It is particularly suitable for those with tape sensitivities or allergies.

Specifications Ensuring Safety and Quality
The McKesson Skin Barrier Strip is engineered with user safety in mind, being completely latex-free, which is crucial for those with latex allergies. The integration of high-quality materials and a focus on user experience makes this barrier ideal for patients requiring reliable ostomy solutions. Furthermore, to maximize effectiveness, it is recommended to apply McKesson skin barrier film prior to using the strip on the peristomal skin, creating an optimal environment for the barrier's functionality.
