Esteem™+ Flex Convex
Esteem™+ Flex Convex
As one of the latest addition to our range of one-piece stoma solutions, the Esteem™+ Flex Convex system combines the comfort and freedom of flexibility with the firmness of convexity.
The Esteem™+ Flex Convex system fits the contours of your body, moving with you and helping to give you the confidence to live life the way you want.
All bodies are different. Convex baseplates are designed to help manage irregular stomas and abdomens to help to reduce leakage and simplify stoma management.
What is Convexity?
There are two types of baseplates within stoma pouching systems1:
- Flat - a baseplate which is flat against the skin surface.
- Convex - an outward curving of the baseplate towards the skin.2
Moves with you – flexible convexity fits to body contours for comfort and easy positioning.
Designed for skin health and security – the hydrocolloid baseplate is made to stay firmly in place, helping to minimise leakage. Soft tapered edges also help resist snagging on clothing.
You may want to consider using a convex baseplate if:
-
You are experiencing leakage
-
Your stoma sits at or below skin level
-
You have skin folds, creases or a soft abdomen
Think Esteem+ Flex Convex could be right for you?
