Some continent ostomy catheters can be trimmed to length when the product specifications allow it. For example, certain straight continent ostomy catheters may be designed so the catheter length can be adjusted before use.
Customers should review product instructions and healthcare guidance before trimming any catheter to confirm the correct length, cutting method, catheter material, tip style, French size, sterility, disposability, and compatibility with the customer’s continent ostomy system, such as a continent ileostomy or Kock pouch.
