Flange size is important because it must match the size of the pouching system and fit comfortably on the skin. The right flange size ensures a secure connection between the pouch and skin barrier, reducing the risk of leaks and skin irritation. Assura flanges come in several sizes, such as the 1-9/16" flange on Coloplast 12703 and the 2" flange on Coloplast 12705. Having a selection of flange sizes ensures users can find the most comfortable and secure fit for their unique body shape and stoma location.
