Description
The Coloplast Alterna Deep Convexity Base Plate is an essential component of a two-piece ostomy system, specifically designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit for individuals with challenging stomas. Its deep convexity design is particularly beneficial for those with flush, retracted, or difficult-to-manage stomas, such as those located in deep skin folds or near scars. This innovative design helps promote stoma protrusion, thereby reducing the risk of leakage and enhancing overall confidence in ostomy management.
Key Features
-
Secure Coupling System: The base plate features a mechanical coupling system that locks the pouch securely with an audible 'click,' providing reassurance and allowing for 360° rotation before locking. This ensures optimal pouch positioning and ease of use.
-
Advanced Spiral Adhesive: Equipped with a spiral adhesive, the base plate offers strong adherence, excellent moisture absorption, and protection for peristomal skin. This helps maintain skin health by minimizing irritation and ensuring a reliable seal.
-
Customizable Fit: Available in both pre-cut and cut-to-fit options, the base plate accommodates a wide range of stoma sizes, enhancing comfort and personalization. Belt tabs are included for additional security if needed.
Compatibility and Comfort
The Alterna Deep Convexity Base Plate is compatible with both drainable and urostomy bags, available in transparent or opaque options. Constructed from high-quality materials, it promises durability and comfort for long-term wear.
