description In order to determine the perception of ostomized patients about the performance and safety of the new one-piece device Moderma Flex, as well as the evolution of peristomal skin health after its use. The pre- and post-experimental multicenter study after the use of the Moderma Flex one-piece ostomy device on 306 ostomized people from 68 hospitals in Spain. We used a self-made questionnaire on the usefulness of different parts of the device and the perception of peristomal skin improvement. The sample was composed of 54.6% (167) men and had an average age of 64.5 years (standard deviation = 15.43). The type of device most commonly used according to its opening was closed by 45.1% (138). In addition, for the type of barrier, the most frequently used is the flat one; 47.7% (146) and 38.9% (119) used a model of soft convexity. A total of 48% scored with the highest assessment in the perception of skin improvement. The percentage of patients with peristomal skin problems decreased from 35.9% at the first visit to less than 8% after the use of Moderma Flex. Further, 92.4% (257) had no skin problems, the most frequent being erythema. The use of the Moderma Flex device seems to be related to a reduction in peristomal skin complications and a perception of improvement.
