18003 New Image 2-Piece 12 Drainable Ostomy Pouch 10 Pack - Red Match

In this review of the Hollister 18003 New Image 2-Piece 12 drainable ostomy pouch, the bottom line is simple: this 10 pack is aimed at people with a colostomy or ileostomy who want a dependable, two-piece pouching option that pairs with 2-1/4 in New Image skin barriers. The reviewer found the pouches deliver a secure, leak-resistant closure thanks to the integrated Lock 'n Roll Microseal system, and the soft pouch panels add comfort for daily wear. For users who need a color-matched flange and belt compatibility, this set is built to match and perform without latex.

Key Features

• Two-piece compatibility: Designed to work with New Image two-piece skin barriers that use a 2-1/4 in flange, providing interchangeable use with matching red color.
• Secure bottom closure: The integrated Lock 'n Roll Microseal uses plastic interlocking fasteners to create a reliable bottom seal for draining without fumbling.
• Comfort-oriented design: Soft ComfortWear pouch panels reduce irritation against the skin and improve daily comfort during extended wear.
• Odor control: An odor-barrier film is included to help reduce unwanted smells when worn and during emptying.
• Belt compatibility: Includes belt tabs so users can attach an ostomy belt for extra security and peace of mind.

Who It's For

This pouch is well suited for adults with a colostomy or ileostomy who prefer a two-piece system that is easy to drain and replace. People who already use New Image skin barriers with a 2-1/4 in flange will appreciate the red color match and the simplicity of swapping pouches without re-cutting or buying new barriers.

Users who require a one-piece system, need smaller or larger flange options, or prefer a cloth-like opaque pouch for discretion should look elsewhere. Also, those with a strict budget may find mixed feedback on value, so comparing per-pack cost against alternatives is advised.
