Stoma caps may be used for short-term wear when only minimal or predictable stoma output is expected. They are small, low-profile ostomy products that may be used in certain limited-wear situations, depending on ostomy type, output pattern, and product design.
Some stoma caps may be suitable for activities such as swimming or bathing when the product specifications support that use, but they have limited capacity and are not intended for higher-output or unpredictable-output situations. Product specifications and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully to confirm water exposure, adhesive skin barrier, filter, absorbent pad, opening size, wafer or flange compatibility, ostomy type, and intended wear time.
