Pancaking This is when the output collects around the stoma and can squeeze between the flange and the skin instead of going into the bag, creating a vacuum effect.
Peristomal Skin This refers to the skin immediately around the stoma.
PouchA collection system where output goes and is stored until removal. This can be known as a bag.
Pre-cut The flange opening on these products has already been cut for added convenience. The sizes are listed and should be selected based upon your stoma size. Ideal if your stoma has a round shape.
Profile FlangeA mouldable flange that provides a secure seal around irregular or uneven stoma sites. Ideally suited for those with a peristomal hernia.
