Fitting 2-Piece Appliances

Our StomaCloaks can fit any stoma size.

The size of a stoma can vary depending on the patient's anatomy and the type of surgery they had. However, the most common size for a stoma is between 1 and 1.5 inches (25 to 38 millimeters) in diameter. This size is generally considered optimal for efficient waste elimination and easy fitting of an ostomy appliance. It is important to note that stomas can change in size and shape over time.

The size of an ostomy pouch wafer (also known as a skin barrier) can vary depending on the patient's anatomy and the type of ostomy they have. However, the most common size for an ostomy pouch wafer is between 2 and 3 inches (50 to 76 millimeters) in diameter. This size range is considered to be a standard size and is available from most ostomy product manufacturers.

It is important to note that the size and shape of an ostomy pouch wafer should be chosen based on the patient's stoma size and shape, as well as the condition of their skin. The wafer should fit snugly around the stoma without causing irritation or leaks. Patients may need to experiment with different sizes and shapes of ostomy pouch wafers to find the one that works best for them, and may also consult with their healthcare provider or an ostomy nurse for guidance.
