Because Peristomal Skin Deserves Better.

The importance of peristomal skin health in ostomy care can't be overstated. The condition of this skin greatly affects how well the skin barrier can adhere, as well as the general comfort and well-being of patients living with a stoma. Maintaining healthy peristomal skin from the start is the ultimate goal.

CeraPlus skin barrier with Remois technology* has arrived.

Our newest skin barrier is infused with ceramide, the skin's naturally occurring protection against dryness. The CeraPlus skin barrier is designed to maintain adhesive properties, and features a formulation infused with ceramide to help:

    • Protect the skin's natural moisture barrier
    • Maintain good peristomal skin health
    • Decrease transepidermal water loss (TEWL) from damaged or eroded skin

Healthy Peristomal Skin

The Skin

One role of the skin is to provide a barrier between the internal structures of the body and the external environment. This function is performed by the peripheral layer of the skin, the epidermis. The epidermis is comprised of five different layers: the stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and the stratum basale. The outermost layer, the stratum corneum, is responsible for protecting underlying tissue from infection, dehydration, chemicals and mechanical stress.

The Stratum Corneum

The stratum corneum is comprised of cells called corneocytes which are embedded in an intracellular matrix of proteins and lipids. Any outside substance must penetrate through a tortuous path between the intercellular matrix and corneocytes. In addition, the stratum corneum prevents the escape of water through the skin helping the skin to stay well hydrated, healthy, and supple.
