Description
The Coloplast Alterna 1 Piece Closed Flat Bag is an innovative solution for individuals who have undergone stoma surgery, such as colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. This one-piece, closed ostomy pouching system is designed to provide comfort, discretion, and reliability, ensuring peace of mind for its users.
Adhesive Technology
The bag features a skin-friendly spiral adhesive that offers secure adherence while protecting the skin. This adhesive is designed to absorb moisture, thereby reducing the risk of skin irritation. The convenience of a permanently fixed adhesive means the entire appliance is removed and replaced when changing, simplifying the process.
Baseplate Options
Available with either flat or convex baseplates, the Alterna system caters to a variety of stoma management needs. The convex baseplate applies moderate to high pressure, encouraging the stoma to protrude and reducing the risk of leakage. This makes it particularly suitable for difficult-to-manage stomas. The deep convexity variant enhances fit and comfort, providing a tailored experience.
Customizable Openings
The pouch offers pre-cut or customizable cut-to-fit openings, accommodating a wide range of stoma sizes. This flexibility ensures a snug fit, enhancing security and comfort for the user.
Pouch Variants
The Coloplast Alterna bag comes in different sizes, including Midi with approximately 350ml capacity and Maxi with approximately 560ml capacity. Users can choose between transparent pouches for easy monitoring or opaque ones for added discretion.
Integrated Filter
Each pouch is equipped with a multi-layer or dual filter that prevents ballooning and neutralizes odor. This feature optimizes airflow and reduces gas build-up, contributing to a more comfortable and discreet experience.
Material and Comfort
Crafted with a soft, non-woven backing fabric, the pouch is comfortable against the skin and quick-drying. The odor-proof film enhances discretion, while the lightweight design ensures ease of use.
Intended Use
Designed for individuals with all types of stomas, the Coloplast Alterna 1 Piece Closed Flat Bag is a versatile and reliable option. Users are advised to read the label and instructions for information on intended use, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.
With its thoughtful design and high-quality materials, this product exemplifies Coloplast's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for those with stomas.
