Stretchability is a key factor because it allows the barrier ring to adapt to different stoma sizes and shapes, ensuring a snug and custom fit even if your stoma size changes. The ability to stretch to larger dimensions provides flexibility and reduces the need for trimming, which is especially beneficial for users with irregular or changing stoma profiles. For example, the Hollister 89603 can be stretched from 1-1/2" x 2-3/16" to 1-3/4" x 2-3/8", and the Hollister 89601 can stretch from 7/8" x 1-1/2" to 1-1/8" x 1-3/4". This variety of stretchability options means you can find a product that will comfortably conform to your needs.
