Convex Skin Barrier Solutions for Secure Ostomy Care
Zodole convex skin barrier is designed to improve sealing performance for retracted or flush stoma.
Reducing leakage risk and protecting peristomal skin.
Types of Convex Skin Barriers / Baseplate We Offer
The Zodelo convex skin barrier is mainly applicable to the 2 piece pouch system of the Calmlora Series and Mellora Series. Our convex solutions are suitable for distributors, importers, and ostomy brands looking for stable quality, OEM capability, and long-term supply.
What Is Convex Skin Barrier?
The convex skin barrier is a kind of ostomy baseplate with a convex surface design on its surface. It can apply gentle inward pressure around the ostomy. This helps to make the ostomy slightly protrude, thereby enabling the ostomy bag system to achieve a more stable sealing effect.
Compared with the flat skin barrier, the convex skin barrier is more suitable for patients with depressed, flat or uneven ostomies. It is more effective in reducing leakage and skin irritation. The convex skin barrier is widely used in long-term ostomy care. It can extend the wearing time, reduce leakage and protect the health of the skin around the ostomy.

Frequently Asked Questions about Convex Skin Barrier
Q1. What is the key difference between Convex Skin Barrier and Flat Skin Barrier?
Flat Skin Barrier: Suitable for cases where the stoma protrudes outward and the abdomen is flat.
Convex Skin Barrier: Suitable for patients with depressed, flat or uneven ostomies.
Q2. Will the Convex Skin Barrier exert excessive pressure on the skin?
Choosing the correct Convex Skin Barrier will not cause harm to the skin. We recommend making a comprehensive assessment based on the ostomy condition, leakage frequency, and wearing comfort.
Q3. What are the main types of Convex Skin Barrier?
Convex wafers are typically classified into three categories:
- Soft convex wafer: Low pressure. Emphasizes comfort and is suitable for mild depressions.
- Light convex wafer: Medium pressure. Suitable for patients with depressed, flat or uneven stomas. It is the mainstream choice.
- Deep convex wafer: High pressure. Suitable for patients with severe depressions or high leakage risks.
Q4. Can the Convex Skin Barrier be compatible with different brands of ostomy bags?
Most Convex wafers are designed to be compatible with the mainstream two-piece ostomy bag system.
In OEM or custom projects, the interface or adaptation plan can be adjusted according to the target market demand to ensure the convenience of distribution and end-user use.
Q5. Do you support the OEM / Private Label customization of Convex Skin Barrier?
Yes, we support OEM / Private Label cooperation, including:
- Product specification customization
- Different Convex pressure level planning
- Private labeling of packaging and labels
- Support for market differentiation solutions
Q6. Can I get free samples of convex ostomy wafer before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer free samples of convex ostomy wafer for testing and evaluation purposes. However, it including freight charges.
Q7. What is your MOQ for bulk or OEM orders?
A: 500 pcs. Please contact us with your project details, and our team will provide a suitable solution.
Q8. What is the lead time for ostomy wafer production and delivery?
The lead time of conventional samples is 1 to 3 days. The lead time for customized samples is about 7 days. The batch production time for ileostomy pouches is about 10 days. The mass production time for customized convex wafer is about 20 days. The lead time for convex skin barrier production and delivery can vary depending on factors such as order quantity, customization requirements, and supplier capabilities.

Convex Wafer vs Flat Wafer
| Dimension | Flat Wafer | Convex Wafer |
| Structural Design Working principle | The base surface is flat. | The central area protrudes outward in an arc shape. |
| Skin pressure | It forms a seal by naturally adhering to the skin through adhesive. | By applying a slight pressure, the depressed stoma is “pushed out” to enhance the seal. |
| Applicable ostomy types | There is almost no additional pressure. | Generate controllable and evenly distributed pressure. |
| Leakage control capability | Protruding Stoma (outwardly projecting stoma) | Retracted / Flush Stoma |
| Requirements for skin morphology | Regular sealing effect | Seal Integrity |
Why convex skin barrier matters？
When the stoma is level with the skin, sunken inward, or has skin folds around it, the excrement is less likely to directly enter the ostomy bag. The convex skin barrier can slightly compress the surrounding tissue of the stoma inward. This makes the stoma stand out more, improving the flow of excrement. By changing the contact angle, the sealing degree is enhanced to prevent leakage.
Advantages of Convex Skin Barrier
- Enhance sealing performance
Improve adaptability to depressions or complex skin shapes.
- Reduce leakage risk
Especially suitable for retracted stomas.
- Extend the lifespan of ostomy wafers
The lifespan of ostomy wafers is more stable.
Disadvantages of Convex Skin Barrier
- Risk of pressure injury
If the convexity is not chosen appropriately, it may cause skin damage.
- Not suitable for all patients
It should be used with caution for patients in the early postoperative period or those with fragile skin.
- Higher manufacturing complexity
Higher requirements for mold precision and pressure distribution control are needed.
- Slightly higher cost
It is more difficult to promote in the price-sensitive market.
When Should Use a Convex Skin Barrier?
1. Retracted stoma
When the stoma is lower than the skin surface or significantly retracts inward, it is called Retracted Stoma.
In this case: Excrement is prone to spreading on the skin surface. The adhesive edge is easily eroded, leading to leakage.
Using convex wafer for retracted stoma can apply directional pressure through the convex structure.
This promotes the stoma to outwardly protrude relatively, improving the flow of excrement. Enhancing the sealing integrity.
2. Flush stoma
Flush Stoma refers to the situation where the stoma is level with the skin surface, without any natural protrusion. This structural issue can prevent excretions from directly entering the pouch. At the same time, it causes leakage around the stoma, increasing the risk of skin irritation and allergies.
In such cases, the Light Convex wafer is usually sufficient to improve the sealing effect. By adjusting the tension of the skin around the stoma, the contact angle of the adhesive is improved. The sealing block is strengthened, reducing the risk of leakage.
3. Frequent Leakage Problems
If the patient experiences frequent leakage when using the Flat Wafer, it will significantly shorten the service life of the ostomy skin barrier. The skin around the stoma will repeatedly be irritated and become red and swollen.
After excluding factors such as incorrect size selection and improper application method, it is usually recommended to switch to the Convex Ostomy Wafer. This can effectively improve the stability of the edge seal and prevent the adhesive from losing its stickiness, thereby extending the service life of the ostomy wafer.
4. Uneven skin
Abdominal folds, obesity or scar tissue can cause gaps between the ostomy wafer and the skin, resulting in loose adhesion.
The convex ostomy wafer can to some extent fill in minor depressions, balance pressure distribution and improve overall fit.
