Flange size is crucial when selecting Durahesive Flexible Wafers because it determines compatibility with your ostomy pouch system and ensures a secure, leak-free fit. The right flange size should match the stoma size and the corresponding pouch, preventing leaks and skin irritation. Common flange sizes in this category range from 1¼" (32 mm) to 1¾" (45 mm), offering flexibility for various stoma sizes. For example, the Convatec 413161 features a 1¾" (45 mm) flange for larger stomas, while the Convatec 413164 offers a 1¼" (32 mm) flange for smaller needs. The Convatec 413160 provides a mid-range 1½" (38 mm) flange option. This range ensures you can find the perfect fit for your body and pouch system.
