What is convexity?
Convexity is the outward curving of the wafer or skin barrier.
Why might you consider a convex ostomy product?
Convex ostomy wafer or skin barriers are designed to help reduce leakage. You might consider talking to your healthcare provider about convex ostomy products:1
- If you have been experiencing leakage
- If your stoma is flush or retracted

Convexity may help maintain a secure seal between the wafer or skin barrier and the skin.1
