Some stoma caps have built-in filters, but not all stoma caps include a filter. A filtered stoma cap may help release gas and manage odor inside the cap depending on the product design.
Stoma caps can vary by filter type, absorbent pad, adhesive skin barrier, opening size, one-piece or two-piece design, wafer or flange compatibility, and intended wear time. Product specifications should be reviewed carefully to confirm whether a specific stoma cap is filtered and whether it is compatible with the ostomy pouching system being used.
