The maximum stoma opening determines the largest stoma size that the barrier can accommodate, which is a key consideration for ensuring a snug fit and preventing leaks. The best opening size is one that matches or slightly exceeds your stoma diameter, giving you flexibility and security. Available products offer options like up to 2 3/8" (ConvaTec 403948) for larger stomas and up to 1 3/8" (ConvaTec 405467) for smaller stomas. This range ensures you can choose a barrier that fits your stoma precisely, reducing the risk of skin irritation and leakage.
