A stoma cap is used to cover a stoma for short-term or low-output situations when a full-size ostomy pouch may not be needed. It provides a smaller, low-profile option for people with compatible ostomy needs, most commonly some colostomy users with minimal or predictable output.
Stoma caps may be used between colostomy irrigation routines or during limited wear based on healthcare guidance. They can vary by absorbent pad, filter, adhesive skin barrier, cut-to-fit opening, one-piece or two-piece design, wafer or flange compatibility, and output capacity, so product specifications should be reviewed carefully before ordering.
