Curvex®
The Curvex® range provides a unique combination of security, reliability, flexibility and comfort that is designed to mould to the body’s contours.
Curvex® often reduces the risk of discomfort and skin trauma sometimes associated with rigid, conventional convexity products.
- Curvex® provides a gentle, flexible solution for peristomal irregularities, slightly recessed stomas and parastomal hernias
- The 3D flange not only decreases the costly need for pastes and washers but also reduces the need to use uncomfortable or tight girdles and belts
- The Curvex® plateau has been uniquely designed to be soft and mouldable with any type of peristomal skin irregularity
- A leak-free fit is achieved by conforming gently around or into skin folds, scar tissue, moats or recesses without the need for paste, washers, pressure or a belt
- Risk of infection is minimised by the integral non-return valve which prevents reflux of urine
- Easy to use outlet tap that is soft, supple and exceptionally secure.
Curvex® is ideal for:
- Ostomates who experience slight leakage from flat flanges
- Uneven skin dips, moats or scar tissue surrounding the stoma or a stoma positioned in a crease or skin fold
- Parastomal hernias
- Peristomal recesses due to weight gain or loss, or reduction in abdominal swelling post operatively
- Recessed stomas requiring only light pressure to protrude or which do not need the pressure exerted by conventional convexity products
- A recess only on one side of the stoma
- Ostomates who have poor dexterity and find it difficult to use washers or pastes
Curvex® should not be recommended for the following people:
- Ostomates with deeply recessed stomas requiring substantial pressure to protrude the stoma to ensure a leak-free fit of an appliance
- Ostomates with severe management problems due to deep and uneven scars
