A highly absorbent hydrocolloid skin barrier ring that creates a secure, leak-resistant seal between the stoma and ostomy appliance — the simple ostomy accessory that turns a problematic seal into a confident one.
For ostomy patients, a secure pouch seal is everything — the difference between confidence in daily life and constant worry about leaks. The McKesson Skin Barrier Ring is a moldable hydrocolloid ring that fills the gap between an irregularly shaped stoma and the standard pouch opening, creating a turtleneck-style seal that resists effluent while protecting the peristomal skin. Excellent adhesive tack and high absorbency make it one of the most trusted ostomy accessories available.
