Description

The Alterna 1 Piece Closed Flat Bag by Coloplast is an advanced ostomy pouching system tailored for individuals who have undergone stoma surgery, such as colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. This one-piece system integrates a unique spiral adhesive that is permanently affixed to the pouch, ensuring secure adherence while protecting the skin. The adhesive is designed to absorb moisture, preventing irritation and maintaining normal skin pH.

Baseplate Options

• Flat Baseplate: Suitable for standard stoma management.
• Convex Baseplate: Ideal for challenging stomas, offering moderate to high pressure to encourage stoma protrusion and minimize leakage.

Customization

The system offers both pre-cut and cut-to-fit options, accommodating a wide range of stoma sizes. This flexibility ensures a precise fit, enhancing comfort and security.

Pouch Variants

Available in Midi and Maxi sizes, the pouches come in transparent and opaque options. This allows for easy stoma monitoring or discretion, depending on user preference. Each pouch is equipped with an integrated filter to prevent ballooning, neutralize odors, and optimize airflow.

Material and Comfort

Crafted from odor-proof film, the pouch features a soft, non-woven backing fabric that is comfortable against the skin and quick-drying. The lightweight design ensures ease of use, making application and removal straightforward. Designed for single use, the pouch can be safely disposed of with household waste.

Instructions for Use

1. Measure the stoma and cut the baseplate to fit, if necessary.
2. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application.
3. Peel off the adhesive film and press the adhesive firmly around the stoma.
4. Massage the baseplate for several minutes to secure adhesion.
