ActiveLife One-Piece Ostomy Pouches

ActiveLife by ConvaTec brings the skin barrier and the pouch together in a single, ready-to-wear system — a practical choice if you want fewer steps at each change and a low-profile fit under clothing. Every pouch in this collection is a one-piece drainable design, meaning the adhesive barrier is bonded directly to the pouch so there's no flange to line up. For many people that translates to a quicker, more discreet routine and a softer, quieter pouch against the skin.

The line is built around two ConvaTec skin barriers you'll see referenced across the products. Stomahesive is a regular-wear barrier that's gentle on peristomal skin and suits predictable output. Durahesive swells to hug the stoma as it moves, giving extended, more secure wear for output that's looser or harder to manage — as in the ActiveLife Colostomy Pouch with Durahesive Plus barrier (400598), which also features a transparent film so you can monitor the stoma without removing the pouch.

Choosing the right one comes down to your stoma. Pre-cut pouches — like the 22751 at a 1-inch opening or the 022754 at 1-3/4 inch — save you the step of cutting and fit stomas of a consistent, round shape. Cut-to-fit options such as the 400598 accommodate anywhere from 3/4 to 2-1/2 inch, useful in the early weeks when a stoma is still shrinking or if it's oval. Pouches come in 10-inch and 12-inch lengths and in opaque for discretion or transparent for visibility; several include a tape collar for added edge security.

Not sure of your measurement? Measure the stoma at its base and re-check periodically after surgery, since size changes.
