Description
The Coloplast Alterna Deep Convexity Base Plate is a specialized component designed for individuals with unique ostomy care needs. Its deep convex shape is engineered to provide moderate to high pressure on the peristomal skin, promoting stoma protrusion and significantly reducing the risk of leakage. This makes it particularly suitable for those with retracted stomas or challenging skin contours such as deep folds and scars.
Key Features
