STOMAGENIE CARTRIDGE SIZES
StomaGenie is available in 12 sizes to accommodate varying stoma diameters and output volume needs. Our mid to large size cartridges are designed to hold approximately 2–4 ounces of fluid.
The larger the StomaGenie size, the more output it can manage—offering dependable protection during high-output pouch changes and added flexibility when skin needs breathing time.
StomaGenie is covered by Medicare, the VA, and most private insurance plans. Coverage allows up to 30 cartridges per month, conveniently packaged in boxes of 10. Multiple sizes may be ordered within a single monthly order.
