The Brava Protective Sheet by Coloplast is an essential accessory for ostomy care, designed to safeguard peristomal skin health. This single-use, skin-friendly device is intended for placement under the baseplate or ostomy barrier, providing a crucial layer of protection by effectively absorbing moisture. This feature helps to minimize the risk of skin maceration, ensuring the skin around the stoma remains dry and healthy.

Material and Safety

Composed primarily of hexamethyldisiloxane, the Brava Protective Sheet offers robust protection against stoma output and other body secretions. Users with adhesive allergies should exercise caution. The product should be kept away from sparks, hot surfaces, and strong chemicals to prevent any adverse reactions.

Environmental Considerations

While hexamethyldisiloxane is poorly biodegradable and moderately bioaccumulative, proper disposal is crucial. Users are advised not to discharge it into the environment to prevent long-term aquatic effects.

Regulatory Compliance

The Brava Protective Sheet complies with European medical device regulations (Directive 93/42/EEC) and is classified as a Class I medical device. It is exempt from certain labelling requirements under CLP (1272/2008) and is considered MR safe.

Important Notices

Users should carefully read the product label and instructions for comprehensive information on intended use, contraindications, warnings, and precautions. This ensures optimal performance and safety, aligning with healthcare recommendations.
