Description

The Alterna Post-Op 1 Piece System by Coloplast is expertly crafted to support individuals in their post-operative care following stoma surgery, whether for colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. This innovative one-piece ostomy appliance integrates a unique spiral adhesive, ensuring secure adherence to the skin while effectively managing moisture and maintaining skin health. This design helps prevent irritation, offering peace of mind to users.

Baseplate Versatility

The system offers flexibility with its baseplate options, available in both flat and convex designs. The convex baseplate is particularly beneficial for stomas that are challenging to manage, as it applies moderate to high pressure to encourage stoma protrusion and reduce the risk of leakage.

Pouch Customization

Pouch options are diverse, featuring a range of pre-cut or customizable hole sizes to fit individual needs. Available in Maxi and Midi sizes, the pouches come in transparent, opaque, and graphic versions, providing discretion or easy monitoring as required. Certain variants include a window for enhanced post-operative monitoring.

Closure and Filtration

The system includes both drainable and closed pouch versions. Drainable pouches feature a self-adhesive soft closing clip for secure closure and easy cleaning, while closed pouches incorporate an integrated multi-layer filter to prevent ballooning and neutralize odors. Additional features like the Hide-away® outlet and clamp closure are available in select models.

Comfort and Discretion

Crafted from soft, lightweight materials, the appliance includes a soft backing fabric for comfort and quick drying. The odor-proof film enhances discretion, making daily life more manageable for users. The integrated filter system effectively manages gas, reducing ballooning and ensuring odor control.

Ease of Use

Designed for single use, the Alterna Post-Op 1 Piece System is straightforward to apply and remove. The adhesive plate secures to the peristomal skin, and the bag can be easily removed by gently pulling the tab. The outlet is accessible for emptying and can be cleaned with a tissue or wipe.

Intended Use

This system is intended for seamless post-operative ostomy care, providing a secure and comfortable solution for stoma output management. It is recommended to follow the provided instructions and consult with a stoma care nurse or doctor, particularly when using convex products.
