What It Is
Safe n Simple Ostomy Barrier Strips with Aloe and Zinc Oxide are curved hydrocolloid strips designed to reinforce the edge seal of an ostomy wafer and provide added security for the pouching system. Each strip comes pre-cut and ready to use, requiring no trimming or shaping before application. Each pack contains 30 one-inch strips.
What Makes This Version Different
Unlike the standard Ostomy Barrier Strips, this version is enriched with aloe and zinc oxide directly within the hydrocolloid material. Aloe helps soothe and calm skin prone to irritation, while zinc oxide adds a protective barrier against moisture and friction — making this option particularly well-suited for those with sensitive or easily irritated peristomal skin.
How It Works
The hydrocolloid material absorbs moisture and conforms closely to the skin around the stoma, helping to reinforce the wafer edges and prevent the pouching system from lifting or leaking. This creates a more secure, flatter pouching surface that supports extended wear time and reduces the risk of unexpected detachment during daily activity.
Dual Function Protection
Each strip serves two purposes simultaneously: protecting the delicate peristomal skin from prolonged moisture exposure and adhesive contact while also reinforcing the hold of the wafer or pouch. This dual benefit makes the strips a practical way to both extend pouch wear time and improve overall skin health around the stoma.
An Alternative to Rings and Paste
For those who find traditional skin barrier rings or pastes difficult to work with, these strips offer a cleaner, simpler alternative that delivers comparable reinforcing benefits in a ready-to-use strip form — no molding, shaping, or messy paste application required.
Simple Application
Using the strips is straightforward. First, clean and thoroughly dry the skin around the stoma. Peel off the protective backing and place the strip directly on the skin or wafer. Gently press and warm the strip with your fingertips to help it mold to the skin’s contours. Finally, apply the pouch as usual. The strips can be used either under the pouch, applied directly to skin before the wafer, or over the pouch, applied around the wafer after it is in place.
Built for Everyday Life
Once applied, the strips hold up to daily movement, perspiration, and bathing, thanks to their waterproof seal and skin-friendly hydrocolloid construction. This makes them a reliable addition to everyday ostomy care routines for people who want consistent protection without compromising their normal activities.
