Pouch capacity is important because it determines how much output the pouch can hold before needing to be changed, which affects both comfort and convenience for the infant and caregiver. For newborns and premature infants, smaller capacities are generally preferred to minimize weight and bulk, while still providing enough containment for their output. The available range in this category includes very small capacities, such as 10mL in the Hollister 3777 Pouchkins Premie Pouch for low birth weight infants, and larger, like the 100mL Hollister 3778 Pouchkins Newborn Pouch for standard newborns. Having this range allows caregivers to select a pouch that best matches the infant’s needs and output levels.
