McKesson 176-5726-McKesson Skin Barrier 1/3 Arc Strip, Barriers (TR) - McKesson Skin Barrier 1/3 Arc

Overview of McKesson Skin Barrier 1/3 Arc Strip
The McKesson Skin Barrier 1/3 Arc Strip is designed to provide optimal protection for individuals using ostomy pouching systems. This innovative barrier strip secures the pouch while safeguarding the peristomal skin from irritation and damage. Its pre-cut, pre-shaped design simplifies application, making it an ideal choice for both patients and caregivers. The product is categorized as an ostomy skin barrier, highlighting its specific use in ostomy care.

Durable and Water-Resistant Design
One of the standout features of the McKesson Skin Barrier is its water-resistant surface. This enables users to engage in daily activities such as swimming or bathing without compromising the integrity of the barrier. The gentle yet highly absorbent hydrocolloid adhesive effectively soaks up exudate, providing a reliable seal that enhances comfort and performance. By ensuring the pouch remains secure, it boosts the user's confidence in their ostomy care routine.

Comfort and Ease of Use
Designed for convenience, the McKesson Skin Barrier includes a curved, 1/3-arc shape that facilitates a picture-frame application around the flange. This unique design feature allows for increased comfort and ease of movement, as the thin-edge, no-roll-up design ensures that the strips lie flat against the skin. Furthermore, easy and gentle removal minimizes trauma to the skin, making it suitable for patients with skin sensitivities or tape allergies.

Versatile Application Options
The versatility of the McKesson Skin Barrier adds to its appeal. It can be applied directly to the skin as a barrier under the pouching system for added protection or used over the pouch to secure the system in place. This functionality makes it an essential accessory for ostomy care, ensuring that users have the support they need for their individual situations. With its latex-free composition, the product is also considerate of those with latex allergies.
