As a classic among skin protection materials, our hydrocolloid supply offers superior properties – soft, flexible and reliable.
Hydrocolloids are mainly derived from natural ingredients such as cellulose, gelatine and pectin. Hydrocolloid tends to form a gel when combined with liquids which are resorbed through the skin. This gel provides the necessary adhesive strength for an ostomy appliance.
Hydrocolloids has been used as a wound dressing for many years due to their healing and absorbent properties and are also used extensively in stoma care for baseplates and accessories (e.g. skin protection rings).
Hydrocolloid adheres to the skin by absorbing heat and moisture. This moisturising effect allows the base plate to swell slightly and ensures good adhesion to the skin – this prevents leakage and skin irritation and accelerates skin healing.

There are many features of our hydrocolloid product range:
Our products have been especially developed for particularly sensitive skin and may minimise the occurrence of skin irritations and allergies. All of our supplies are 100% latex-free.
The softness and high flexibility minimise mechanical irritation of the sensitive skin surrounding the stoma.
The unique characteristics of this range unite to create lightness and comfort whilst wearing.
All our products can be easily applied and removed in just one single step.
Hydrocolloids absorb and retain moisture. This absorption of moisture ensures a dry, comfortable feel and supports your skin health.
Experience maximum safety and additional confidence. Our skin protection adheres reliably to the skin and thus prevents irritation caused by leaks.
The tapered skin protection ensures an optimal seal and fit, especially on uneven body contours.
