Wound orientation is a key consideration because the shape and position of the pouch must align with the wound to ensure secure attachment, effective drainage, and patient comfort. The best wound orientation option matches the natural direction of the wound—vertical or horizontal—to minimize leakage and maximize performance. In this category, you can choose from vertical, horizontal, and horizontal open-top designs. For example, Convatec 839225 is tailored for vertical wounds, Convatec 839223 for horizontal wounds, and Convatec 839214 for horizontal wounds with an open-top design. The availability of different orientations allows users to select the best fit for their wound shape and placement.
