About Adapt CeraRing Flat Barrier Rings (4-inch)
What these are & how they help
Barrier rings are soft, mouldable seals that sit between your skin and your ostomy wafer (the adhesive part of your pouching system). They fill the small gaps and uneven spots around your stoma so output can't sneak underneath — the most common cause of leaks and sore skin. Hollister's CeraRing rings are infused with ceramide, a natural component of healthy skin, to help protect the delicate peristomal skin — the skin right around your stoma. This version is flat with a generous 4-inch width.
When a flat ring is right
A flat ring lies level against your skin, rather than curving outward like a convex ring. Flat rings suit many people, especially when:
- Your stoma protrudes at or above skin level
- The skin around your stoma is fairly even
- You don't need the extra pressure a convex ring provides
If your stoma is flush or retracted, or you've had leaks with flat products, a convex ring may suit you better. Your stoma care nurse can help you choose.
How to use
- Start with clean, dry skin. Gently clean around your stoma with water and pat the skin fully dry.
- Shape the ring. Stretch and mould it to match the size and shape of your stoma — snug, but not covering it.
- Apply around the stoma. Place the ring at the base of your stoma and press lightly so it sits flush to your skin.
- Add your wafer or pouch over the ring as usual, smoothing outward to remove any gaps.
- Warm and hold. Rest your hand over the area for a minute — your body heat helps the seal bond.
Caring for your peristomal skin
Healthy skin is the foundation of a secure seal. Change your ring before it's fully worn — for most people that's every few days, but trust how your skin feels. If you notice redness or irritation that doesn't settle, check in with your stoma care nurse. CeraRing's ceramide formula is designed to support your skin between changes, not replace good routine care.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a flat and a convex barrier ring?
A flat ring lies level against your skin; a convex ring curves outward to apply light pressure around the stoma. Flat rings suit stomas that protrude at or above skin level, while convex is usually chosen for flush or retracted stomas.
What size are these rings?
These are the 4-inch (wide) flat CeraRing rings — a generous width that covers more peristomal skin and suits larger stomas. You mould them by hand to match your stoma's size.
Can I mould or cut these rings to fit?
You mould them — no cutting needed. The soft, flexible material stretches and shapes by hand so you can match your stoma's size and shape, and you can stack two rings for extra height.
Do CeraRing rings really contain ceramide, and why does it matter?
Yes. CeraRing's adhesive is infused with ceramide, a lipid found naturally in healthy skin. It's included to help maintain the skin's moisture barrier around your stoma while improving the seal.
Will these help stop leaks?
They're designed to. By filling gaps and creating a secure, even seal around the stoma, barrier rings reduce the chance of output reaching your skin.
How long does one ring last, and how often should I change it?
It varies by person and routine. Many people change their ring with each pouching-system change, every few days. A box of 10 covers roughly a month of typical use.
Are they latex-free?
Yes — CeraRing barrier rings are not made with natural rubber latex.
Are these FSA/HSA eligible?
Yes. Ostomy barrier rings are an eligible medical expense, so you can pay with your FSA or HSA funds.
