Description

The Coloplast Alterna Extra Base Plate is an essential component in ostomy care, designed to provide a secure and comfortable interface between the skin and the ostomy bag. Suitable for individuals with colostomies, ileostomies, or urostomies, this base plate ensures reliable adhesion and ease of use.

Design Variants

• Flat Variant: Offers a low-profile design for enhanced comfort and discretion.
• Deep Convexity Variant: Provides an improved fit to prevent leaks, ideal for those requiring additional support.

Both variants feature a mechanical coupling system with an audible 'click' to confirm secure attachment of the ostomy bag. This system allows 360° rotation for optimal positioning before locking, enhancing user convenience. Select models also include belt tab clips for added security.

Advanced Adhesive Technology

The base plate utilizes a spiral adhesive made from skin-friendly materials, offering strong adherence while absorbing moisture. This design helps protect the skin by reducing irritation and the risk of allergies, allowing for frequent bag changes without compromising adhesion.

Compatible with Coloplast's 2-piece ostomy systems, the Alterna Extra Base Plate works with various bag types, including drainable and urostomy bags, in both transparent and opaque options. It is available in cut-to-fit and pre-cut options, designed for easy application and removal, making it suitable for both pediatric and adult users.

Application Instructions

To use, cut the base plate to fit the stoma size and shape as needed. After removing the protective paper, press the adhesive firmly against clean, dry skin. Attach the ostomy bag until the 'click' is heard. For removal, gently peel the base plate downward while holding the skin taut.

Storage and Safety

The base plate is intended for single use only and should be stored in a cool, dry place. Reuse or reprocessing is not recommended to maintain hygiene and effectiveness.
