How to apply Convatec One Piece Ostomy Pouch?

Measure the stoma opening.
Using the provided guidelines prepare the skin barrier.
Remove the paper strip from the adhesive side of the barrier.
Place the pouching system over the stoma site gently.

You must keep in mind that the stoma will be swollen immediately post-surgery. But it will shrink in size through the healing process. You must make sure to measure your stoma site regularly to ensure that you are wearing the correct size and to reduce the risk of leakage. Contact your healthcare professional for the measurement and the resizing needs.
