HI,

Has anyone used the 4" Hollister Adapt Skin Barrier Rings?

I was thinking about buying this cutting it and using it atleast twice.

1st cutting in half and then each half cutting in middle of the half circle. Which would make two half circle which can be used as one ring.

I hope I explained it clear enough to understand.

Has anyone done this?

I use Hollister 7805 2" Adapt Barrier Rings and love them. I prefer the ring over the paste. However, I would think that that handling them to cut, and exposing them to the air would effect there ability to stick well. These are covered by most insurances, why not just buy the size you  need?

I just finished reading the Ostomy Tips Book under COLLECTIONS at the top of the page. I did not realize how much information was there. It covers a lot

of things that people have questions about. Hope this may answer some things for people. Best wishes and stay safe

I have a urostomy and use the Adapt rings.  Like white rose, I use the 2 " rings.  Instead of cutting the 4 " rings, maybe you should switch.  But if you are trying to use up a supply you already have, I think you'd be able to manipulate the ring back into a circle after cutting it in half, and it should still work.  Do you have access to an ET nurse or WOCN person to ask about trying this?
