Description
Coloplast's Alterna 1 Piece Closed system is a thoughtfully designed ostomy pouching solution, crafted to provide comfort, security, and discretion for individuals managing stoma output. This one-piece system integrates a unique spiral adhesive, ensuring a secure fit while protecting the skin. The adhesive is permanently attached to the pouch, allowing for complete removal and replacement during changes, enhancing hygiene and convenience.
Baseplate Options
The system offers versatile baseplate options, available in both flat and convex forms. The convex baseplate is particularly beneficial for stomas that are flush or retracted, applying moderate to high pressure to encourage protrusion and minimize leakage. This feature is crucial for those with challenging stoma management needs.
Customizable Fit
To accommodate various stoma sizes, the Alterna system provides a range of opening options, including pre-cut and customizable (cut-to-fit) hole sizes. This adaptability ensures a snug and secure fit, tailored to individual requirements.
Pouch Variants
The pouches come in multiple sizes, such as Midi (approximately 350–360ml) and Maxi (approximately 560ml), and are available in both transparent and opaque variants. This variety allows users to choose based on personal preference and lifestyle needs.
Advanced Features
Equipped with a multi-layer integrated filter, the pouch effectively prevents ballooning and neutralizes odour, enhancing discretion. The odour-proof film construction further contains odours, providing peace of mind in social and professional settings.
Comfort and Discretion
The soft backing fabric of the pouch is designed for comfort and quick drying, making it gentle against the skin and discreet under clothing. These user-friendly features underscore Coloplast's commitment to creating a product that is easy to use and comfortable to wear.
Usage Recommendations
The Alterna 1 Piece Closed system is ideal for individuals with colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy, seeking a reliable and discreet ostomy management solution. Users are advised to follow standard ostomy care practices, ensuring the skin is clean and dry before application, and to dispose of used pouches responsibly.
By addressing the diverse needs of ostomy care, Coloplast's Alterna 1 Piece Closed system stands out as a comprehensive and adaptable solution, fostering confidence and comfort in everyday life.
