B&B Medical Technologies today introduced the Sil.Flex™ Stoma Pad, an exciting new product that will greatly enhance comfort and care for patients with tracheostomies.

Stoma sites require routine care throughout the day and often become sensitive or compromised due to constant pressure or movement of the neck flange against the surrounding tissue. The patent-pending Sil.Flex Stoma Pad is an ergonomically designed device that provides a cushion between the rigid flange of the tracheostomy tube and stoma site. The contoured surface of the Sil.Flex Stoma Pad provides a stable, comfortable interface between the flange and the patient’s skin. Use of the Sil.Flex may assist in lowering irritation of the skin at the stoma site.

Sil.Flex Stoma Pads are made of a soft, fillerless elastomeric silicone encased in polyurethane. Pliable and flexible, the Sil.Flex Stoma Pad is available in three unique shapes and sizes to provide a safe and cost effective solution for the smallest infant to the largest adult.  Hypoallergenic and latex-free, each sterile Sil.Flex Stoma Pad is individually packaged. The Patent pending design allows for easy patient application and is simple to remove for routine cleaning and sanitation.

“The Sil.Flex Stoma Pad provides a long-needed solution to improve comfort for patients with tracheostomies,” said Beth Keifer, B&B Medical Technologies Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Sil.Flex Stoma Pad is a safe and cost effective answer for tracheostomy care.”
