Why Choose the Mini Length Pouch

Standard-length ostomy pouches (12″+) can extend quite far down the leg, sometimes creating visible bulk or interfering with waistbands, belts, and fitted clothing. The 9″ (23cm) mini length solves this by providing a shorter, more compact profile that ends higher on the abdomen—perfect for people who want maximum discretion, wear fitted clothing, or prefer a lighter feel. You still get full drainable functionality with the convenient Lock 'n Roll™ tail, just in a more discreet package.

Key Features & Benefits

• Mini 9″ length (23 cm) provides a shorter, lower profile that's more discreet under fitted clothing, sportswear, and professional attire
• Lock 'n Roll™ microseal tail—innovative clamp-free closure that folds and seals without external clips or clamps
• 2¼″ (57 mm) New Image™ coupling snaps securely to all New Image™ 57mm barriers (flat/convex; Flextend®/CeraPlus™)
• Beige opaque film for confident coverage—won't show output or create transparency concerns
• Quiet, low-rustle material with soft comfort panel on body side reduces noise and irritation
• Two-piece system convenience—change pouches multiple times daily without disturbing the barrier
• Latex-free construction; sterile, single-patient use

Lock 'n Roll™ Tail Advantage

Traditional drainable pouches require external clamps that can:

• Be bulky and visible under clothing
• Get lost or broken
• Be difficult to manipulate for users with limited dexterity
• Catch on clothing or during activity

Lock 'n Roll™ eliminates clamps entirely. Simply unfold the tail to empty, wipe clean, then fold and roll the built-in microseal closure to create a secure, integrated seal. It's faster, cleaner, and more discreet than traditional clamp systems.

Clinical Applications

Ideal For:

• Colostomy/ileostomy patients who prefer shorter pouches
• Active individuals wanting less bulk during sports, exercise, or daily activities
• Patients with shorter torsos where standard pouches hang too low
• Users who wear fitted clothing, business attire, or uniforms
• People seeking maximum discretion in social or professional settings
• Anyone who finds standard-length pouches too long or cumbersome

Mini Length Considerations:

• Smaller capacity means more frequent emptying (typically 3-5 times daily vs 2-3 for standard)
• Best for colostomy with formed output or ileostomy patients who empty regularly
• Not ideal for very high-output situations requiring maximum capacity

Usage & Application

Attaching the Pouch:

1. Ensure your New Image™ 2¼″ (57mm) barrier is properly adhered to clean, dry skin
2. Align the pouch coupling ring with the barrier flange
3. Press firmly around the entire ring until you feel secure engagement
4. Gently tug the pouch to verify it's locked in place

Emptying with Lock 'n Roll™:

1. Empty when pouch is ⅓ to ½ full (due to mini length, may fill faster than standard pouches)
2. Sit on toilet; hold pouch end between legs
3. Unroll the Lock 'n Roll™ tail by unfolding from the rolled seal
4. Allow contents to drain completely into toilet
5. Wipe the inside and outside of tail clean with toilet paper
6. Fold tail upward 3-4 times, then roll the integrated seal to secure
7. Confirm tight seal by gentle pressure test

Pouch Wear Time:

• Typical wear: 1-2 days per pouch (depends on output type and personal preference)
• Change sooner if Lock 'n Roll™ seal becomes difficult to maintain or shows wear
• Monitor barrier condition—change barrier per usual schedule (3-7 days typical)
