The Link Between Ostomy Supplies and Skin Sensitivities

Many ostomy barriers and adhesives are made with ingredients that can cause problems for people with reactive or sensitive skin. These may include:

  • Harsh chemicals or preservatives
  • Latex or synthetic rubber
  • Heavy adhesives that trap heat and moisture

Over time, these materials can lead to inflammation or contact dermatitis, especially when worn for extended periods.

What to Look for in Hypoallergenic Ostomy Supplies

When selecting ostomy products for sensitive skin, look for features like:

  • Latex-free materials
  • Fragrance-free adhesives
  • Breathable barrier design
  • Lightweight, flexible construction

You want a pouching system that protects your skin without causing additional stress to the area around your stoma.

How MicroSkin® Supports Sensitive Skin

MicroSkin® is CYMED’s ultra-thin, breathable film that acts as both a barrier and adhesive. It is designed specifically to reduce skin irritation and improve comfort for people with allergies, sensitivities, or frequent flare-ups.

Key Benefits of MicroSkin®:

  • Hypoallergenic and latex-free
  • Thin and breathable to prevent heat and moisture buildup
  • Conforms naturally to body movement
  • Gentle on even the most delicate skin

Unlike traditional ostomy adhesives that can feel heavy or pull on the skin, MicroSkin® is so lightweight and flexible that many users say it feels like a second skin.

Real Relief for Irritated Skin

If you have already experienced skin problems from other brands or adhesive styles, switching to MicroSkin® can make a big difference. Its low-profile, non-bulky design helps reduce friction and pressure under clothing. The breathable film also allows for airflow, which helps your skin stay cool and dry.

Many CYMED users report fewer skin reactions and greater overall comfort within just a few days of switching.

Why Comfort and Confidence Go Together

Living with an ostomy is personal, and your pouching system should support your lifestyle, not get in the way. When you find a product that fits well, protects your skin, and helps you move freely, it can boost your confidence in everything you do. That is the experience MicroSkin® aims to deliver.
