Description

The Coloplast Alterna Base Plate is an essential component for individuals managing colostomy or ileostomy care. As part of a 2-piece ostomy system, it serves as a reliable adhesive skin barrier, ensuring a secure attachment for ostomy bags. Available in both flat and shallow convexity variants, it caters to a range of stoma profiles, providing a snug fit particularly beneficial for flat or retracted stomas.

Compatibility and Design

• System Compatibility: Specifically designed for use with the Coloplast Assura/Alterna 2-piece ostomy system, it accommodates various drainable and urostomy bags, whether transparent or opaque.
• Mechanical Coupling: Features a patented security ring that offers an audible 'click' to confirm secure pouch attachment. This mechanism allows 360° rotation of the bag for optimal positioning before locking.

Adhesive Technology

The base plate employs a spiral-structure adhesive crafted from skin-friendly, hypoallergenic materials. This advanced adhesive technology provides strong adherence and excellent moisture absorption, enhancing skin protection to minimize irritation. It is particularly suited for those requiring frequent bag changes without compromising skin health.

Comfort and Discretion

• Low-Profile Design: The base plate's discreet, flexible design ensures comfort during daily activities. Its soft front enhances discretion under clothing.
• Additional Features: Some variants include belt tabs and clips for added security, along with an efficient filter to help prevent odour.

Application and Removal

Available in cut-to-fit and pre-cut options, the base plate can be tailored to the stoma's size and shape. It is designed for easy application and removal, intended for single use only. Sizes vary across different models, with options accommodating coupling diameters of 40mm, 50mm, and 60mm.

Material and Maintenance

Constructed from durable, flexible, and erosion-resistant materials, the Alterna Base Plate is designed for secure, comfortable, and discreet wear. To maintain optimal adhesion, it should be applied to clean, dry skin and removed carefully by peeling downward while holding the skin taut. Reuse, reprocessing, or sterilization is not recommended.
