Flange size is a critical consideration because it must match both the user's stoma size and the corresponding skin barrier to ensure a secure, comfortable fit without leaks. There's no universally "best" flange size; the optimal choice depends on individual anatomy and the specific ostomy barrier being used. In this category, available flange sizes include 2 1/4" (57 mm) and 2 3/4" (70 mm), catering to a range of needs. For example, the Convatec 401935 offers a 2 1/4" (57 mm) flange, while the Convatec 404018 and Convatec 401936 provide a larger 2 3/4" (70 mm) option. Having multiple flange sizes ensures users can find a pouch that fits their unique requirements.
