Sizing Ostomy Pouches
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 (No. 905412-798), 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 (No. 905412-798).
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.
