To determine the correct pouching size and system, first measure the stoma’s diameter using a measuring guide to ensure an accurate fit, leaving a small gap (about 1/8 inch) around the stoma. Then, assess the stoma’s shape, location, and the condition of the surrounding skin to choose the most appropriate pouching system (one-piece or two-piece) and barrier type.
