CeraPlus™ Skin Barrier Caused Significantly Less Disruption to the Skin Compared to SenSura Mio Skin Barrier**1
CeraPlus™ skin barrier with Remois Technology* demonstrated to minimize transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin irritation compared to SenSura Mio Skin barrier.**1
When you remove an ostomy barrier, what else are you peeling away?
When an ostomy barrier is removed, cells from the outermost layer of skin are also removed along with it. This damage to the skin allows increased moisture from inside the body to pass through into the environment. Escaping moisture is called transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and can be assessed in a lab with a tool that measures evaporation. A lower TEWL value indicates better skin integrity.1-6
The CeraPlus™ skin barrier observed to be more effective than SenSura Mio skin barrier at protecting skin from the damage of adhesive removal1
Minimizing TEWL
TEWL was 41% lower with the CeraPlus skin barrier than SenSura Mio skin barrier.1
Minimizing skin irritation
Images taken on final day of participation
CeraPlus skin barrier is significantly less disruptive to the skin compared to SenSura Mio skin barrier.1
Protecting Skin From Damage
CeraPlus™ skin barrier provided better protection against the damaging effects of repeated adhesive removal than SenSura Mio.1
CeraPlus™ Skin Barrier
Helps maintain healthy skin from day one.
Ceramide-infused formulation helps protect against damage, dryness, and itching.
The CeraPlus™ skin barrier comes in a range of fit options including one-piece, two-piece, flat, firm convex, soft convex, tape border, and tapeless.
The ADVOCATE study showed how the CeraPlus™ skin barrier reduces cost of care and reduces PSCs
Fit + Formulation is the inspiration behind CeraPlus™ skin barrier
