Flange size is a crucial consideration when purchasing New Image Skin Barriers (Wafers) because it needs to match the size of your ostomy pouching system for a secure, leak-proof fit. The best flange size is the one that corresponds to your pouch and stoma needs, ensuring compatibility and comfort. Available options include 1(3/4)", 2(1/4)", and 2(3/4)", which accommodate a variety of stoma and pouch sizes. For example, Hollister 14102 offers a 1(3/4)" flange, while Hollister 14104 features a larger 2(3/4)" flange for broader coverage. Having multiple flange size options allows you to choose the best fit for your unique needs.
