Has Anyone Tried Cutting 4" Hollister Adapt Skin Barrier Rings?

This topic is about finding ways to make the most out of Hollister Adapt Skin Barrier Rings, specifically the 4-inch size. The idea is to cut these rings into smaller pieces to get more uses out of them. Here's what people have shared about this approach:

1. Many people prefer using the 2-inch Hollister Adapt Barrier Rings (product #7805) instead of cutting the larger 4-inch rings. They find it easier and more convenient, and most insurance plans cover the correct size.

2. Be aware that cutting and handling the rings for too long might expose them to air, which can reduce their stickiness and affect how well they seal.

3. If you already have the 4-inch rings and want to save money, you can try cutting a ring in half and reshaping each piece into a smaller circle. Many believe this method should still work.

4. It's a good idea to consult with an Enterostomal Therapy (ET) nurse or a Wound, Ostomy, and Continence (WOCN) nurse for advice before making any changes to the product. They can provide professional guidance to ensure you get the best results.
