ConvaTec 401557 High Output Drainable Pouch

Post by Ed1948 »

Convatec recently sent me a sample box of 5 pouches. So far, so good. Does anyone else use these pouches? I'm curious to know how many days should I use them before swapping it out for a new pouch. I'm on day 9 with this pouch. I change my Face Plate every 3 or 4 days.

I usually have two "active" pouches at a time. I rinse the one I've worn all day, hang it to dry (clothespin, shower curtain), and put on the cleaned, dry one from the day before. I keep using a pouch until it looks awful or the charcoal vent stops working, maybe 5-7 uses.
