Product Information

Full details

The Hollister New Image Drainable Ostomy Pouch is designed for individuals seeking comfort, discretion, and reliable odor control. Its key benefit is the combination of a rustle-free, odor-barrier design with a gentle, one-sided comfort panel, suitable for sensitive skin. A potential caveat for some users might be the 2-3/4 inch flange size, which requires a specific stoma size or adjustment.

FAQs

How often should I change the ostomy pouch?

Generally, the pouch and skin barrier should be changed every 1-3 days, or as needed. Monitor for leaks, skin irritation, or if the adhesive begins to lift.

What is the best way to clean the drainable pouch outlet?

After emptying, rinse the outlet with cool water. Some users prefer to use a mild soap and water solution, ensuring it is thoroughly rinsed out afterward. Consult your ostomy care nurse for specific recommendations.

Can I swim or shower with this pouch?

Yes, you can shower or swim with this pouch. Ensure the skin barrier is securely applied and the drain is closed and sealed. For swimming, you may want to reinforce the edges of the skin barrier with tape.

What does 'drainable' mean for an ostomy pouch?

A drainable pouch has an opening at the bottom that can be opened to empty output. This is convenient for frequent emptying and can be closed securely afterwards, allowing the pouch to be reused until it needs to be changed completely.

Is the skin barrier latex-free?

The product information states the skin barrier is latex-free, which is important for individuals with latex sensitivities.

What is the size of the flange?

The flange size for this specific pouch is 2-3/4 inches. This refers to the size of the opening that fits around the stoma.

Troubleshooting

Pouch is not adhering securely

Ensure the skin around the stoma is clean and completely dry before application. Trim the skin barrier opening to fit the stoma precisely. Apply gentle, firm pressure to the barrier for 30-60 seconds to activate the adhesive. Consider using a barrier wipe or spray for improved adhesion.

Odor is noticeable despite the barrier

Check that the pouch is completely sealed and there are no gaps around the skin barrier or at the drain closure. Ensure the drain is securely closed. Consider using an internal pouch deodorizer if recommended by your healthcare provider.

Skin irritation under the skin barrier

Ensure the skin barrier opening is cut to the correct size to avoid pressure or leakage. Use a gentle skin cleanser and ensure the skin is dry. Try a different type of Hollister skin barrier or consult with an ostomy nurse or healthcare provider.

Pouch is difficult to empty

Ensure the drainable outlet is fully opened. If output is thick, try drinking more fluids to thin it. Gently massage the pouch from top to bottom to encourage flow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the stoma is clean and dry.
  2. Measure the stoma accurately using the provided measuring guide (if applicable) or a separate measuring tool.
  3. Trace the stoma size onto the cut-to-fit skin barrier if adjustment is needed.
  4. Cut the opening in the skin barrier to the exact size and shape of the stoma.
  5. Remove the protective backing from the skin barrier.
  6. Apply the skin barrier smoothly around the stoma, ensuring a secure seal.
  7. Attach the drainable pouch to the skin barrier, confirming the Lock 'n Roll closure (if applicable) or other connection mechanism is securely engaged.

Compatibility:

This pouch is designed to work with the Hollister New Image™ system. Ensure compatibility with specific skin barriers or accessories before use. The 2-3/4 inch flange is designed for stomas within that size range.

Care:

  • Empty the pouch when it is 1/3 to 1/2 full to prevent leakage and ensure comfort.
  • Clean the drain outlet thoroughly after each emptying with water and mild soap, if recommended by your healthcare provider.
  • Replace the pouch and skin barrier regularly, typically every 1-3 days or as needed based on skin condition and pouch performance.
  • Store spare pouches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
