Description

The Alterna 1 Piece Comfort Drainable is a thoughtfully designed ostomy appliance by Coloplast, tailored for individuals with colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy needs. This one-piece system integrates a unique spiral adhesive that ensures secure adherence while being gentle on the skin. The adhesive's moisture-absorbing properties help maintain healthy peristomal skin by reducing irritation and preserving natural pH levels.

Flexibility and Comfort

The appliance features six flex zones, providing exceptional flexibility and comfort, along with strong adhesion. This design allows the user to move freely without compromising the appliance's secure fit.

Baseplate Options

• Flat Baseplate: Suitable for skin-level stomas, offering a gentle and comfortable fit.
• Convex Baseplate: Available in shallow convexity, ideal for retracted or difficult-to-manage stomas. It applies moderate to high pressure to encourage stoma protrusion, minimizing leakage risk.

Pouch Features

The pouch is available in various configurations to suit individual preferences:

• Closure Options: Drainable with Easiclose outlet (Velcro closure) or a self-adhesive soft closing clip, ensuring secure and hygienic emptying.
• Integrated Filter: Provides continuous gas filtration, reducing ballooning and odor for discretion.
• Odor-Proof Film: Enhances discretion further.
• Backing Fabric: Soft and breathable, quick-drying after showering or swimming.

Size and Design Variants

Pouch capacities include Maxi (530ml), Midi (390ml), and Mini (230ml). The stoma opening is versatile with cut-to-fit options ranging from 10mm to 70mm and pre-cut sizes from 21mm to 35mm. The pouches come in transparent, opaque, and graphic designs, allowing users to choose based on their need for discretion or content monitoring.

Intended Use

Designed for solid or semi-solid stoma output, the Alterna 1 Piece Comfort Drainable is available in configurations that cater to various stoma types and user preferences. The entire appliance is removed and replaced during changes, and users are advised to follow the label instructions carefully, including any contraindications, warnings, and precautions.

Packaging Options

The product is available in single units or in boxes containing 6, 10, or 30 pieces, depending on the variant. This flexibility in packaging allows users to select the quantity that best fits their needs.
