The Safe n Simple X-Tra Wide Skin Barrier Arc 21120 (2” – 20 CT) provides reliable skin protection and enhanced pouch security for ostomy users. These Safe n Simple Skin Barrier Arcs can be applied underneath or over your pouching system, creating a smooth, comfortable seal that protects the skin from trauma caused by repetitive adhesive removal.
When placed beneath the wafer or pouch, the arcs form a smooth base that helps protect the peristomal area and improve adhesion. When placed over the pouching system, they act as an extra adhesive layer to reinforce the wafer edges—preventing lifting, creasing, or leaks.
Made from soft, flexible hydrocolloid material, these Safe n Simple skin barriers provide a waterproof seal, allowing users to bathe, shower, or swim with confidence. Ideal for daily use, these arcs offer extra adhesive reinforcement and gentle, effective skin protection.
Each tray includes 20 X-Tra Wide Skin Barrier Arcs (2”), designed for easy application and long-lasting comfort.
