The barrier opening size is important because it must fit closely around your stoma to protect the skin and prevent leaks. The best size is one that can be customized to your stoma’s shape and size, especially if your stoma is irregular or still changing. New Image Skin Barriers offer opening sizes up to 1(1/4)", 1(11/16)", and 2(1/4)", giving flexibility for different stoma sizes. For example, Hollister 14103 allows for a barrier opening up to 1(11/16)", ideal for medium-sized stomas, while Hollister 14104 accommodates larger stomas up to 2(1/4)". With these options, users can find the right fit for their individual needs.
