Description

The Alterna Comfort Ostomy Pouching System by Coloplast is meticulously designed to provide secure, comfortable, and discreet stoma care. This versatile system offers both 1-piece and 2-piece configurations, catering to a wide range of user needs and preferences.

Adhesive Technology

At the core of its design is the unique spiral adhesive, which ensures reliable adherence while protecting the skin. In the 1-piece system, the adhesive is permanently attached to the pouch, requiring a full change during each replacement. The 2-piece system features a mechanical coupling with an audible 'click,' allowing for secure attachment and the flexibility to rotate or remove the pouch separately from the adhesive barrier.

Baseplate Options

The system provides flat and convex baseplate options, including shallow convexity, to manage challenging stomas effectively. These options help the stoma protrude properly, reducing the risk of leakage and enhancing overall security.

Pouch Varieties

Alterna Comfort offers a variety of pouch types, including:

• Drainable Pouches: Equipped with the EasiClose outlet and a self-adhesive soft closing clip for secure closure and easy cleaning.
• Closed Pouches: Featuring an integrated multi-layer filter to prevent ballooning and neutralize odours.
• Urostomy Pouches: Utilizing multi-chamber technology for optimal urine flow and separation.

Size and Appearance

Pouches are available in multiple sizes—Mini, Midi, and Maxi—with capacities ranging from 170ml to 560ml. Users can choose between transparent and opaque appearances, with additional graphic designs for enhanced discretion.

Stoma Opening and Coupling Sizes

The system accommodates various stoma openings with pre-cut and cut-to-fit options. Coupling or flange sizes for the 2-piece system include 40mm, 50mm, and 60mm, providing a tailored fit for individual needs.

Material and Construction

Constructed from odour-proof film and soft backing fabric, the pouches offer comfort and quick drying. The durable, skin-friendly materials ensure long-lasting performance, while features like the multi-layer filter and ultra-absorbent material enhance functionality.

Packaging

Typically packaged in boxes of 10, 20, or 30 units, the Alterna Comfort system is suitable for individuals with colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy, offering a comprehensive solution for effective stoma management.

Usage Guidance

For optimal results, users are advised to read the label and instructions carefully, adhering to guidelines for application and maintenance. Regular inspection and proper use are recommended to achieve the best outcomes in stoma care.
