Why Choose Hollister Lock 'n Roll™ Drainable Pouch

Lock 'n Roll™ Clamp-Free Closure Simplifies Emptying
The innovative Lock 'n Roll™ microseal tail closure eliminates the need for separate clips or clamps—simply roll the tail up 3-4 times and press to create a secure, leak-proof seal. This clamp-free design makes emptying faster, more hygienic, and significantly easier than traditional closures requiring external clips (which can be dropped, lost, or difficult to manipulate with limited dexterity). For ostomates emptying 4-6+ times daily, this simplified process reduces frustration, saves time, and eliminates the anxiety of fumbling with clips in public restrooms or dealing with arthritic hands struggling to open traditional closures.

1-Piece Integrated Design for Simplicity and Low Profile
The one-piece construction permanently joins the barrier and pouch, eliminating the coupling mechanism found in two-piece systems. This creates an inherently more streamlined, flatter profile against your body—more discreet under fitted clothing and during intimate moments. With no connection point to manage, you have one less potential failure point and a simpler daily routine. The integrated design is particularly appealing for new ostomates learning the basics, those who prefer straightforward management without multiple components, and anyone prioritizing the slimmest possible profile under clothing.

ComfortWear™ Panel Enhances Skin Comfort and Wear Experience
The soft, fabric-like ComfortWear™ panel on the body-side surface provides gentle contact against your abdomen rather than direct plastic-to-skin touch. This cloth-like material reduces friction and irritation, feels more natural than traditional plastic pouches, improves comfort during extended wear, and creates better adherence to body contours for a more secure, confident fit. The breathable panel construction also improves overall comfort by reducing heat and moisture buildup between the pouch and your skin—especially valuable during warm weather, physical activity, or all-day wear.

Usage & Application

Initial Application

1. Measure stoma: Use measuring guide to determine stoma size at widest points
2. Cut barrier: Cut opening 2-3mm (⅛ inch) larger than stoma measurement
   • Allows slight stoma movement
   • Protects stoma from contact with barrier edge
   • Custom fit for your anatomy
3. Prepare skin: Cleanse peristomal skin with water; pat completely dry
   • No lotions, oils, or moisture
   • Dry skin essential for adhesion
4. Apply barrier: Remove backing paper; center barrier over stoma
   • Press firmly from stoma outward
   • Smooth to remove air bubbles
   • Ensure no gaps or wrinkles
5. Warm barrier: Hold palm over barrier for 30-60 seconds
   • Activates adhesive
   • Enhances seal
6. Close tail: Roll up Lock 'n Roll™ tail and press to seal

Daily Management

Emptying with Lock 'n Roll™ (4-6+ times daily)

1. Sit on toilet
2. Hold pouch tail over bowl
3. Unfold/unroll tail
4. Allow contents to drain completely
5. Wipe tail interior with tissue if desired
6. Roll tail up 3-4 times
7. Press along rolled area to seal

When to Change

• Every 1-2 days typically for 1-piece systems
• Sooner if barrier edges lifting or leakage occurs
• When barrier adhesive weakens
• Per your personal routine and skin condition

Removal

• Empty pouch contents first
• Support skin with one hand while gently peeling barrier
• Remove slowly to minimize skin trauma
• Use adhesive remover if desired
• Cleanse and dry skin before applying new pouch

Cut-to-Fit Barrier Application

Proper Sizing Critical

Measuring Stoma

• Measure at widest point in each direction
• Stomas can be round, oval, or irregular
• Measure after stoma maturation (4-6 weeks post-surgery)
• Re-measure if stoma size changes

Cutting Barrier

• Cut opening 2-3mm (⅛") larger than stoma
• Too small: Stoma rubs against barrier edge causing trauma
• Too large: Skin exposure to output causing irritation
• Correct size: Small protective gap without excessive exposure

Cutting Techniques

• Use sharp scissors dedicated to barrier cutting
• Cut smoothly—no jagged edges
• For oval stomas: cut oval shape, not circle
• For irregular stomas: cut to match contours

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat
• Shelf life: Check expiration date on packaging
• Pre-cutting: Can pre-cut barriers to size for convenience
• Non-sterile: Clean but not sterile
• Single-use: Each pouch used once (1-2 days) then discarded
• Disposal: Empty contents into toilet; dispose of pouch in waste container (do not flush)
• Packaging: Individual pouch
• Latex status: Not made with natural rubber latex
