The flange size determines the compatibility of the pouch with your skin barrier or wafer, which is crucial for ensuring a secure, leak-proof fit. The best flange size is the one that matches your stoma size and the corresponding wafer, providing comfort and preventing leaks. New Image pouches offer several flange sizes, including 1¾", 2¼", and 2¾", so users can select the best fit. For example, the Hollister 18372 (1¾"), Hollister 18373 (2¼"), and Hollister 18374 (2¾") allow you to choose based on your personal requirements. With multiple flange sizes available, it’s easy to find a compatible pouch for your ostomy system.
