Flange size and color coding are important because they ensure compatibility with your pouch and provide an easy way to identify the right system components. Larger flange sizes can accommodate larger stomas or provide additional adhesive surface area, while the color code (like blue or red) helps you quickly match your barrier with the correct pouch. For example, the Coloplast 10031 uses a blue flange and the Coloplast 10021 uses a red flange, making it easy to pair with compatible pouches. Multiple flange sizes and color codes are available to suit different needs.
