Key Features

Spiral Adhesive: The pouch features a unique skin-friendly spiral adhesive that securely adheres to the skin, protecting it while absorbing excess moisture. This helps maintain the natural pH balance of the skin, reducing irritation and enhancing comfort.
-
Baseplate Options: Available in both flat and convex baseplates, the system offers versatility to meet various stoma management needs. The convex option applies pressure to aid stoma protrusion, minimizing leakage risks, with a deep convexity available for more challenging stomas.
