Convex ostomy accessories, such as convex pouches and barriers, are designed to address challenges associated with retracted or flush stomas. These accessories have a curved shape that provides added pressure to the peristomal skin, creating a better seal and reducing the risk of leaks. They are particularly beneficial for individuals with stomas that are situated below the skin level. Consulting with an ostomy nurse or healthcare provider can help determine whether convex accessories are suitable for individual needs.
