Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the stoma is clean and dry.
- Measure the stoma accurately using the provided measuring guide (if applicable) or a separate measuring tool.
- Trace the stoma size onto the cut-to-fit skin barrier if adjustment is needed.
- Cut the opening in the skin barrier to the exact size and shape of the stoma.
- Remove the protective backing from the skin barrier.
- Apply the skin barrier smoothly around the stoma, ensuring a secure seal.
- 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.
