Soft, Fabric-Like Panels
The cloth-like material on the pouch front and optional back panel reduces friction, noise, and skin irritation.
Secure Snap-On Flange
These pouches attach to the SUR‑FIT Natura two-piece barrier system with an audible “click,” ensuring a reliable, leak-resistant seal.
Variety in Size, Color & Packaging
Options include flange sizes from 32 mm to 70 mm, pouch styles (standard or mini), and choices between opaque tan or transparent materials—giving flexibility for customization based on stoma size, lifestyle, and personal preference.
