Why Wide Outlet Design

Standard narrow outlets can be slow to empty and difficult to clean thoroughly, especially with thicker output. The EasiClose WIDE outlet opens broadly for quick drainage and easy rinsing, reducing time at the toilet and improving hygiene without requiring separate clamps.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pre-cut 30 mm opening provides consistent fit without trimming for stomas measuring approximately 30 mm
• Wide clamp-free outlet (EasiClose™ WIDE) opens broadly for quicker, cleaner emptying and easy rinsing
• Non-convex baseplate ideal for regular or protruding stomas on even peristomal planes
• Elastic adhesive (BodyFit Technology™) adapts to body movement and contours for reliable seal
• Neutral gray, water-repellent textile provides soft, low-rustle, clothing-like finish
• Integrated deodorizing filter helps reduce ballooning and control odor
• One-piece system offers application simplicity with integrated barrier and pouch
• Latex-free construction safe for latex-sensitive ostomates
• Sterile, single-patient use prevents cross-contamination
• 10 pouches per box convenient packaging for regular users
• Faster emptying saves time during each drainage
• Easier cleaning improves hygiene and reduces odor
• Conforming adhesive helps reduce edge lift for more reliable seal
• Neutral, clothing-like cover improves discretion and comfort
• No separate clamp needed—integrated closure system
• Discreet under clothing with quiet, soft materials

Clinical Applications

Ideal for ostomates with: ✓ Colostomy or ileostomy requiring frequent emptying throughout the day ✓ Thicker output consistency benefiting from wide outlet drainage ✓ 30 mm stoma size matching pre-cut opening ✓ Regular or protruding stomas on relatively flat peristomal planes ✓ Active lifestyles requiring adhesive that moves with the body ✓ Preference for one-piece systems offering application simplicity ✓ Desire for faster emptying to reduce time spent managing pouch ✓ Need for easy cleaning to maintain hygiene between changes ✓ Concern about discretion under clothing requiring quiet, neutral materials

Usage & Application

Sizing & Preparation:

• Verify your stoma measures approximately 30 mm (remeasure if stoma has changed size)
• Pre-cut opening cannot be adjusted—ensure proper size match before ordering
• Gather supplies: pouch, skin cleanser, clean towel
• Clean peristomal skin thoroughly with water only (no soaps with oils or lotions)
• Pat skin completely dry—moisture prevents proper adhesion
• If using barrier accessories (rings, paste, strips), have ready before application
• Warm pouch between hands for 30-60 seconds to increase adhesive flexibility
• Check that wide outlet is securely closed before application

Understanding BodyFit Technology:

• Elastic adhesive flexes and adapts to body movement
• Helps reduce edge lift from physical activity
• Conforms to individual body contours
• Maintains seal integrity during sitting, standing, bending
• Works best when properly warmed before application

Application:

1. Remove pouch from packaging
2. Verify pre-cut 30 mm opening matches your stoma size
3. Remove barrier backing paper just before application
4. Warm adhesive between hands for 30-60 seconds
5. Position yourself comfortably with good view of stoma
6. Hold pouch with wide outlet pointing downward
7. Center pre-cut opening over stoma—ensure no skin is exposed between stoma and barrier
8. Apply from bottom up to eliminate air pockets
9. Press gently against peristomal skin starting at stoma and working outward
10. Avoid stretching or pulling skin during application
11. Smooth barrier firmly around entire perimeter
12. Press hand over entire barrier for 30-60 seconds to activate elastic adhesive
13. Use body heat by holding hand over barrier for additional 1-2 minutes
14. Ensure all edges are fully adhered and BodyFit adhesive is secure
15. Verify wide outlet closure is secure before dressing

Filter Management:

• Integrated filter allows gas to vent automatically while blocking odor
• Filter typically located at top of pouch
• Do not cover or obstruct filter during wear
• Filter helps prevent pouch ballooning throughout the day
• If filter becomes wet or clogged, it may lose effectiveness
• Replace pouch if filter stops functioning properly
• Some ostomates use pouch deodorants in addition to filter

Emptying with EasiClose™ WIDE Outlet:

1. Empty when pouch is approximately ⅓ to ½ full
2. Sit on toilet or position over collection container
3. Hold wide outlet end over toilet bowl
4. Unfold EasiClose WIDE outlet by pulling integrated fastener apart
5. Wide opening allows contents to drain quickly and completely
6. You may gently compress pouch from top to assist drainage
7. For thicker output: wide opening facilitates faster emptying
8. Clean inside and outside of outlet opening with toilet paper or soft tissue
9. Rinse outlet with water if desired for improved cleanliness
10. Wide opening makes rinsing easier and more thorough
11. Wipe outlet edges completely dry to ensure proper resealing
12. Fold outlet upward 3 times (about 1-inch folds)
13. Press firmly across entire width to engage EasiClose seal
14. Verify closure is secure before standing
15. No separate clamp needed—integrated closure system holds securely

Advantages of Wide Outlet:

• Empties faster than standard narrow outlets
• Easier to clean thoroughly between empties
• Better suited for thicker output consistency
• Reduces time spent at toilet
• Improves hygiene through more complete cleaning
• Less likely to clog or retain residue
• Facilitates thorough rinsing when desired

Monitoring Throughout Wear:

• Check barrier edges daily for signs of lifting or loosening
• Monitor for any output leaking under barrier
• Typical wear time varies based on output and adhesion
• Assess peristomal skin condition at each change
• Watch for erosion around stoma opening (indicates barrier may be too large)
• Note any skin irritation, redness, or breakdown
• Verify filter is functioning (pouch should not balloon excessively)
• Check that BodyFit adhesive continues to conform to body contours
• Replace pouch when:
  • Edges begin lifting or rolling
  • Leakage or odor occurs
  • Adhesion weakens
  • Filter becomes ineffective
  • Scheduled wear time is reached
  • Wide outlet closure fails to seal properly

For Ileostomy Users:

• Empty pouch 4-6 times daily typically
• Wide outlet particularly beneficial for frequent emptying
• Faster drainage reduces time commitment
• Easier cleaning between frequent empties
• Monitor output consistency and adjust emptying frequency

For Colostomy Users:

• Empty pouch 1-3 times daily typically
• Wide outlet facilitates drainage of formed stool
• Easier cleaning with thicker consistency
• Rinsing capability improves between-change hygiene

Pouch Removal:

1. Empty pouch completely before removal
2. Support peristomal skin with one hand
3. Gently peel barrier away from skin starting at top edge
4. Remove slowly and carefully to minimize skin trauma
5. Use adhesive remover wipes if needed for comfortable removal
6. Avoid pulling or tearing at skin during removal
7. Discard used pouch in appropriate waste receptacle
8. Clean peristomal skin thoroughly with warm water
9. Pat skin completely dry
10. Inspect skin for any irritation, redness, or breakdown
11. Allow skin to air dry 1-2 minutes before applying new pouch
12. Take this opportunity to remeasure stoma size

Tips for Optimal Performance:

• Always warm adhesive before application for best conforming
• Press firmly during application to activate BodyFit Technology
• Empty before pouch becomes too full to maintain comfort
• Clean outlet thoroughly after each emptying
• Store pouches in cool, dry place
• Check expiration dates before use
• Do not expose to extreme temperatures
