If you could create a custom pouch/system what would it be like?  I.e., closure from xyz, abc wafer, opaque, etc.

I am still new at this so my experience is fairly limited, but so far my ideal pouch would have the Cymed Microskin adhesive, opaque rustle-free skin sensitive on back and front, cymed peek a boo window to check on stoma and the coloplast invisaline closure.  It would also need to be convex but I don't know whose convex barrier I live the best b/c I have only tried 2.

I don't know as much as you do about appliances and options, LOL! When I had my pyoderma gangrenosum (It FINALLY healed . . . YAY!!!) I wished there was an appliance with a clear wafer so that I could see how things were going. Unfortunately, when there are skin issues you can't see the skin unless the wafer is off.

I use Holister, and I have the 12 inch opaque pouches as well as mini pounches. The mini pouches look like they'd catch the equivalent of a Ritz cracker in terms of output, and the 12 inch could easily catch a full course Thanksgiving meal for me. Something in the middle would be wonderful.

Bahahah, that made me snort! Have you tried a pediatric pouch? They run about 7".

Convatech has a pouch with a peek-a-boo window? :o
Do you have the item#? That sounds very interesting.

Sorry sorry sorry - I meant Cymed!  I have so many freaking samples and boxes of stuff from a million different companies I can't keep them all straight!
