Evaluation of a Novel Ostomy Barrier Ring with Assisted Flow for Individuals with an Ileostomy

CONCLUSIONS

Although not statistically significant, there was a clear trend toward improvements in peristomal skin condition using the novel barrier ring, even for participants who were already using a barrier ring. User feedback was positive with respect to comfort, device handling, and the perception of the device’s ability to protect the skin. Further, most participants who already used a barrier ring indicated that the novel barrier ring would result in a longer wear time.
