Description
The Coloplast Alterna 1 Piece Comfort Drainable is an innovative solution for individuals with an ostomy, offering a seamless and secure pouching system. This one-piece design integrates the pouch with a unique spiral adhesive, ensuring reliable adherence and effective moisture absorption. This feature not only protects the skin but also enhances comfort, making it a trusted choice for daily use.
Design and Variants
The system is available with either a flat or convex baseplate. The convex option is particularly beneficial for managing challenging stomas, such as those that are retracted or situated in skin folds. By applying moderate to high pressure, it helps reduce leakage and encourages the stoma to protrude, providing greater security.
Pouch Options
The pouches come in Maxi and Midi sizes, with capacities ranging from 330ml to 530ml. They offer versatile opening options, including cut-to-fit and pre-cut sizes, accommodating a wide range of stoma dimensions. Users can choose between transparent, opaque, and graphic finishes, allowing for easy monitoring or added discretion as needed.
Closure and Comfort
Equipped with a self-adhesive soft closing clip or Easiclose outlet, the closure system ensures a secure, hygienic seal that is easy to clean. The soft backing fabric provides additional comfort and quick drying, while the odour-proof film effectively minimizes odour, enhancing discretion.
Material and Maintenance
Constructed from high-quality, leak-resistant materials, this pouching system offers durability and confidence to its users. It is designed for individuals with ileostomies or colostomies who require a dependable drainable pouch. Regular removal and replacement of the entire appliance are recommended, along with adherence to cleaning instructions for optimal hygiene and performance.
User Guidance
Prospective users are encouraged to read the product label and instructions carefully to understand the intended use, contraindications, and any necessary precautions. This comprehensive guidance ensures that the Coloplast Alterna 1 Piece Comfort Drainable meets the specific needs of its users, providing a discreet, comfortable, and reliable solution for stoma management.
