A stoma cap is a small, low-profile ostomy pouch or cover used to cover a stoma when only minimal output is expected. It is smaller than many standard ostomy pouches and may include an absorbent pad, filter, or adhesive skin barrier depending on the product design.
Stoma caps are most commonly used by people with colostomies who have low or predictable output, such as between colostomy irrigation routines or during short-term wear based on healthcare guidance. Product specifications should be reviewed carefully to confirm ostomy type, stoma size, output level, opening style, filter, one-piece or two-piece compatibility, wafer or flange compatibility, and intended use.
