Description

The Alterna 1 Piece Closed Bag by Coloplast is a highly specialized ostomy appliance designed to provide comfort, discretion, and reliable performance for individuals managing stoma output. This one-piece system integrates a unique spiral adhesive, ensuring a secure fit while protecting the skin by absorbing excess moisture. This feature helps maintain natural skin pH and reduces irritation, making it a suitable choice for sensitive skin.

Design and Flexibility

The bag is equipped with six flex zones, offering flexibility and comfort during wear. It is available with various baseplate options, including flat, shallow convex, and deep convex designs. These convex versions apply moderate to high pressure, aiding in stoma protrusion and minimizing leakage risks, particularly beneficial for retracted stomas or those situated in skin folds.

Customization Options

The Alterna 1 Piece Closed Bag comes in multiple pouch sizes, such as Maxi and Midi, and offers both pre-cut and customizable hole sizes. Users can choose between transparent and opaque pouches, allowing for personal discretion preferences and easy stoma monitoring.

Integrated Filter System

An integrated filter system, featuring a multi-layer or dual filter, prevents ballooning and neutralizes odors through continuous gas filtration. This ensures discretion and comfort throughout the day.

Material and Comfort

Crafted with a soft, breathable, and quick-drying backing fabric, the bag enhances comfort and skin-friendliness. The odor-proof film adds an extra layer of discretion, while the lightweight design ensures ease of wear.

Application and Disposal

The single-use, disposable design simplifies application and removal. To apply, users measure and cut the baseplate to fit the stoma, clean and dry the skin, remove the protective film, press the bag onto the skin, and massage the baseplate to secure adhesion. Removal is straightforward by gently pulling the removal tab while keeping the skin taut. Disposal is convenient with normal household waste, avoiding flushing.

Intended Use

This product is intended for individuals with colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy, offering secure, discreet, and comfortable management of stoma output. Users are advised to read the label and instructions for detailed information on intended use, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.

Storage and Maintenance

For optimal performance, store the bags in a cool, dry place and use filter covers during showering or swimming if necessary. The Alterna 1 Piece Closed Bag is designed for single use only and should not be reused, reprocessed, or sterilized.
