Description

The Alterna 1 Piece Comfort Drainable system by Coloplast is a thoughtfully designed ostomy pouching solution tailored for individuals with colostomies and ileostomies. This one-piece system integrates a unique spiral adhesive that is permanently affixed to the pouch, providing secure adherence and effective skin protection. The adhesive's design ensures that the entire appliance is removed and replaced during changes, offering convenience and reliability.

Baseplate Options

• Flat Baseplate: Ideal for stomas at skin level, offering a comfortable and gentle fit.
• Convex Baseplate: Suitable for challenging stomas, such as those that are retracted or located in skin folds. It applies moderate to high pressure to help the stoma protrude, reducing the risk of leakage.

Closure and Fabric Features

The system features an Easiclose outlet with Velcro closure, ensuring secure and hygienic emptying. A self-adhesive soft closing clip enhances closure security and simplifies cleaning. The pouch is backed with a soft fabric that provides comfort, breathability, and quick drying after water exposure.
