This one-piece system integrates the pouch and adhesive baseplate, offering a streamlined solution that is both discreet and effective.

Key Features

  The flat baseplate is ideal for stomas at skin level, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. This design helps provide peace of mind by minimizing the risk of leakage.

• Spiral Adhesive
  The unique spiral adhesive is skin-friendly, providing strong adherence while protecting the skin. It absorbs excess moisture, reducing irritation and helping maintain natural skin pH.

• Integrated Multi-Layer Filter
  Each pouch features a multi-layer filter that prevents ballooning and neutralizes odor, complemented by an odor-proof film to ensure discretion.

• Soft Backing Fabric
  The soft, breathable backing fabric enhances comfort, dries quickly, and minimizes skin irritation.

Ease of Use

• User-Friendly Removal
  Equipped with a removal tab, the system allows for gentle and easy removal by rolling the adhesive downwards.
