Description

The Alterna Deep Convexity Base Plate by Coloplast is expertly designed for individuals with colostomies or ileostomies, particularly those facing challenges such as retracted stomas, deep skin folds, or scars. Its deep convex shape is crafted to apply moderate to high pressure on the peristomal skin, encouraging the stoma to protrude and significantly reducing the risk of leakage.

Key Features

• Deep Convex Design: Provides enhanced security by minimizing leakage, making it ideal for complex peristomal topographies.
• Mechanical Coupling System: Offers a secure attachment for the ostomy pouch with an audible 'click,' allowing 360° rotation for optimal positioning.
• Spiral Adhesive: Ensures strong adherence while absorbing moisture and protecting the skin to minimize irritation.

Customizable Fit

The baseplate is cut-to-fit, accommodating stoma sizes typically ranging from 15mm to 23mm. This allows for a personalized fit, enhancing comfort and security. Available in coupling diameters of 40mm, 50mm, and 60mm, it is compatible with both drainable and urostomy bags, offered in transparent or opaque options.

Additional Security

Equipped with a belt tab for those who require extra security, the baseplate is intended for single use only, ensuring hygiene and effectiveness.

Material and Packaging

Constructed from high-quality, skin-friendly materials, the baseplate is designed for durability and comfort. It is typically packaged in boxes containing 4 or 6 baseplates, depending on the specific variant.

Instructions for Use

To use, the baseplate should be cut to match the stoma size and adhered to clean, dry peristomal skin. The ostomy pouch is then attached via the mechanical coupling system, locking securely with an audible click. Replacement should follow the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Maintenance and Care

Users are advised to follow standard stoma care guidelines for application and removal. Consulting with a stoma care nurse or doctor is recommended for personalized instructions, particularly when using convex products. This ensures a secure fit and effective management of the ostomy, providing peace of mind and comfort in daily activities.
