Hollister New Image Two-Piece Drainable Ostomy Pouch With Filter, Clamp Closure FAQs
What is a two-piece pouching system?
A two-piece pouching system consists of a separate skin barrier (also called a wafer or flange) and a pouch. The pouch snaps or couples onto the skin barrier, which remains on the body. This allows you to change the pouch without removing the skin barrier, which can extend the barrier's wear time.
How is this drainable pouch closed and emptied?
This drainable pouch uses a curved beige clamp to secure the tail or bottom opening. To empty the pouch, you unclamp it, drain the contents into the toilet, clean the tail, and then securely re-apply the clamp.
What is the purpose of the integrated filter?
The integrated AF300 filter is a charcoal filter built into the pouch. Its main purpose is to allow trapped gas to slowly escape and be deodorized, which helps to eliminate gas buildup (ballooning) and keep the pouch flat and discreet.
What is the ComfortWear panel made of?
The ComfortWear panel is a soft, cloth-like fabric material that is placed on the side of the pouch that rests against your skin. It is designed to provide additional comfort and absorb moisture, making the pouch feel softer and more comfortable to wear throughout the day.
