Description
The Alterna Deep Convexity Base Plate by Coloplast is a specialized solution for ostomy care, designed to provide a secure and protective interface between the skin and the ostomy pouch. This product is particularly beneficial for individuals with stomas that are retracted, flush, or located in deep skin folds or scars.
Key Features
-
Deep Convexity Design: The base plate's unique design applies moderate to high pressure on the peristomal skin, encouraging the stoma to protrude. This enhances the fit and reduces leakage, making it ideal for challenging stoma profiles.
-
Spiral Adhesive: Equipped with advanced adhesive technology, the base plate ensures strong adherence to the skin while absorbing excess moisture. This helps protect the skin from irritation and maintains skin health.
-
Mechanical Coupling System: As part of a two-piece system, the base plate features a secure mechanical coupling with an audible 'click' to confirm attachment. This allows for 360° rotation of the pouch before locking, enabling optimal positioning and convenient pouch changes without removing the base plate.
Customization Options
-
Compatibility: Available in both 1-piece and 2-piece systems, compatible with drainable and urostomy bags in both transparent and opaque options.
