Choosing an ostomy system comes down to a few simple decisions. This guide walks through them with genuine ConvaTec options stocked in India.
One-piece or two-piece?
A one-piece combines barrier and pouch in one simple unit; a two-piece keeps the barrier on the skin while you change the pouch (gentler on skin). The ConvaTec ActiveLife one-piece drainable pouch is an easy starting point.
Drainable or closed?
Drainable pouches empty from the bottom (ileostomy/high output); closed are removed and replaced (formed output). The ActiveLife 022771 is drainable with a tail closure.
Cut-to-fit or pre-cut?
Cut-to-fit lets you customise the opening (19–64 mm) — ideal for a changing body or healing stoma.
Protect the skin
Leaks start in folds. Stomahesive Paste fills gaps for a flatter, longer seal. For children, see the Little Ones pediatric pouch, or browse all ostomy care.
