Description
The Alterna 1 Piece Urostomy Bag by Coloplast is expertly designed to provide reliable and discreet care for individuals with a urostomy. This single-use appliance integrates a permanently fixed adhesive baseplate, ensuring that each change involves a complete replacement, thereby maintaining hygiene and security.
Adhesive Technology
The bag features advanced Assura spiral adhesive technology, offering secure adherence while protecting the skin. This adhesive absorbs moisture, reducing the risk of skin irritation, and provides an integrated system for easy application.
Baseplate Options
Available in both flat and convex baseplate designs, the Alterna bag caters to various stoma needs. The convex version applies moderate to high pressure, encouraging stoma protrusion and minimizing leakage. For challenging stomas, a deep convexity option is available, ensuring a leak-proof fit.
Customizable Fit
The bag accommodates stoma sizes from 10mm to 55mm with cut-to-fit or pre-cut openings. This flexibility, along with recommended tools like a measuring guide and curved scissors, allows for a precise and comfortable fit.
Pouch Variants
Coloplast offers the pouch in multiple sizes, including Midi (approximately 265ml) and Maxi (ranging from 375ml to 470ml). Users can choose between transparent and opaque materials, with some models featuring a multi-chamber design to enhance urine flow management, reduce leakage, and control odor. The rustle-free, soft fabric backing ensures comfort and discretion under clothing.
Outlet and Valve Features
The pouch includes a user-friendly soft plastic outlet for convenient emptying and cleaning. An anti-reflux valve prevents urine backflow, lowering the risk of urinary infections. Secure closure is achieved with a self-adhesive soft clip or velcro-like plate.
Odor Control and Durability
Constructed with odour-proof film and durable materials, the bag is designed for long-lasting use, minimizing the need for frequent replacements. It provides a hygienic and reliable solution for urostomy management.
Application and Disposal
The Alterna 1 Piece Urostomy Bag is intended for single use. Users are advised to follow specific instructions for preparation, application, emptying, and removal to prevent leakage and protect skin health. Disposal should be conducted with regular household waste, avoiding flushing.
Intended Audience
This product is ideal for individuals seeking a secure, comfortable, and discreet urine collection system. It accommodates a wide range of stoma types, including those that are difficult to manage, offering peace of mind through innovative design.
