Flange size is crucial because it must match your skin barrier or wafer to ensure a secure, leak-proof seal and comfortable fit. The most suitable flange size depends on your stoma size and the specific barrier you are using. Common flange sizes include 1 3/4", as seen in the Hollister 18362 New Image 9" Closed Pouch. Choosing the right size ensures compatibility and security, and since a variety of flange sizes are available, you can easily find one that matches your barrier for optimal performance.
