McKesson 176-5725 Skin Barrier-1/2 Arc Strip (TR/20)

Overview of McKesson Skin Barrier ½ Arc Strip
The McKesson Skin Barrier ½ Arc Strip is an essential accessory designed for ostomy care. Made specifically to provide a protective barrier between the skin and the pouching system, this product maintains skin integrity while securing the pouch. As an effective solution for individuals facing ostomy challenges, the skin barrier strip enhances comfort and support, ensuring users can lead their activities without concern.

Unique Design for Optimal Functionality
This skin barrier strip features a pre-cut and pre-shaped design, allowing for easy application thanks to its high-tack adhesion. The curved, ½-arc shape is engineered to 'picture-frame' the flange, ensuring a snug, secure fit that adapts to various body contours. Its water-resistant surface and highly absorbent hydrocolloid adhesive make it versatile, accommodating activities such as swimming or bathing without compromising performance or integrity.

Safe and Gentle for Sensitive Skin
One of the key benefits of McKesson Skin Barrier ½ Arc Strip is its gentle removal process. This minimizes trauma on the skin compared to standard tapes or adhesives, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin or allergies to conventional tapes. Furthermore, the product is latex-free, addressing concerns for users with latex sensitivities. The skin barrier can be applied directly to the skin for comprehensive protection or used over the pouch to secure the system in place.

Enhanced Pouching System Performance
To maximize the effectiveness of the McKesson Skin Barrier Strip, it is recommended to apply a skin barrier film to the peristomal area before installation. This additional layer further safeguards the skin and enhances adhesiveness, resulting in a more reliable seal and longer wear time. Ideal for users seeking confidence in their ostomy pouching system, this skin barrier strip represents a thoughtful balance between functionality and user comfort.
