The opening size of a urinary pouch is crucial as it must closely match the stoma size to ensure a secure, comfortable fit and minimize leakage or skin irritation. The best opening size depends on your stoma’s diameter; too small can constrict, too large can cause leaks. Nu-Hope Mid-Size (20 ounces) Urinary Systems offer a variety of pre-cut opening sizes, including 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1 1/2" options, allowing you to choose the most appropriate fit. For example, Nu-Hope 8354 is ideal for smaller stomas with its 1/2" opening, while Nu-Hope 8362DC fits larger stomas with a 1 1/2" opening. This broad range ensures there’s a precise match for every user’s needs.
