Correct Sizing
A properly fitted pouch is essential to minimise stomal and skin irritation and to obtain optimum pouch wear time. Use a Hollister Stoma Measuring Card to measure your stoma accurately. If you do not have a Hollister Stoma Measuring Card, ask your nurse to provide one to you.You may also contact Hollister Limited to request a Stoma Measuring Card.
After measuring your stoma accurately, select a skin barrier with the smallest barrier opening that can fit comfortably around your stoma—without actually touching it. Too large an opening will leave skin exposed and could lead to skin irritation or erosion. Your Stomal Therapy Nurse or Healthcare professional will be able to assist you with the use of a Hollister Stoma Measuring Card.
