Hi all, I've thrown away the size chart that came with my latest order (doh!).. and I now find that I probably need to change my pouch size. I'll add a new chart to my next order, but in the meantime does anyone have an emailable printable copy, a link to such online, or other suggestion for a quick fix? Currently using Hollister 26830. Any assistance gratefully received. Thanks.

Hello Nanny-ogg. I have found that  telephoning the manufacturers with such a dilemma results in an immediate posting of whatever I need. I would therefore suggest that you don't wait until your next order but get in touch straight away and explain your problem.

Best wishes

Bill

Excellent suggestion, Bill. I'll call the major distributors first thing in the morning. Thanks for your reply.

I used a size guide 11 years ago when I first had a stoma. For the past 10 years, I have just got my scissors and cut my stoma hole freehand. Within a couple of millimeters, hit or miss, I never have any problems...

Thanks Vulcan, I've always used precut after scratching my stoma on a badly cut flange in the early days. But thanks for the response.
