Flange size is crucial because it must match the skin barrier and fit comfortably around the stoma without causing leaks or irritation. The right flange size ensures a secure and gentle fit for a child’s smaller anatomy, reducing the risk of skin issues. Pediatric options typically range from smaller diameters to accommodate different stoma sizes. For example, the ConvaTec 401928 SUR-FIT Natura Little Ones 6" Drainable Pouch and the ConvaTec 401931 SUR-FIT Natura Little Ones Mini-Pouch both feature a 1-3/4" (45 mm) flange, while the Convatec 411631 Little Ones Extra Small Drainable Pouch accommodates even smaller stomas. The variety of flange sizes available ensures you can find a secure, comfortable fit for your child.
