The Hollister New Image Soft Convex CeraPlus Skin Barrier offers a reliable means of holding an ostomy pouch securely in place, while safeguarding skin health and reducing leakage. Remois technology by Alcare and ceramide help maintain skin hydration. It employs a delicate adhesive to help keep a pouch in its desired position. Research suggests that this ceramide-infused skin barrier provides a cost-effective solution for people with a new fecal ostomy, over an extended period of time.
Ceramide is an organic molecule formed by lipids that act as a building block for cellular membranes. It also prevents the loss of moisture from the skin. Research in the "Ceramide Channels" paper established that it consists of cylindrical channels of various sizes, allowing for permeability. Additionally, ceramide plays a role in increasing the production of reactive oxygen species.
