Description
The Alterna Comfort 1 Piece Drainable Bag by Coloplast is an innovative solution for effective ostomy management. This single-use pouch system is designed to provide both security and comfort, making it an essential tool for individuals with stomas.
Secure Adhesion
At the core of its design is a unique spiral adhesive that ensures secure attachment to the skin. This adhesive not only holds the pouch in place but also protects the skin by absorbing moisture, thereby preventing irritation. The entire appliance is conveniently removed and replaced during changes, simplifying the process.
Versatile Baseplate Options
The product offers versatility with its baseplate options, available in both flat and convex designs. The convex baseplate is particularly beneficial for stomas that are difficult to manage, as it applies moderate to high pressure to help the stoma protrude, reducing the risk of leakage.
Variety in Pouch Sizes
The Alterna Comfort Bag comes in three pouch sizes: Maxi (530ml), Midi (390ml), and Mini (230ml). This variety allows users to select the size that best fits their needs. Additionally, the stoma opening can be customized with cut-to-fit options ranging from 12mm to 70mm, or pre-cut sizes for added convenience.
Discreet Design
For discretion, the pouches are available in transparent, opaque, and graphic finishes, enabling users to choose based on their preference for content monitoring or privacy. The EasiClose outlet ensures secure and hygienic emptying, complemented by a self-adhesive soft closing clip for reliable closure.
Comfort and Odour Control
The bag features a soft, quick-drying backing fabric for enhanced comfort, while the odour-proof film is designed to minimize odour, providing peace of mind. Certain configurations include an anti-reflux valve to prevent fluid contact with the skin and a volume indicator for easy monitoring of drainage fluid.
Packaging Options
Available in various packaging options, commonly in boxes of 10 or 30, the Alterna Comfort 1 Piece Drainable Bag is tailored to meet diverse needs. It is particularly suitable for individuals with ileostomy or those requiring wound drainage, offering a discreet and manageable solution for stoma care.
Usage Guidelines
Users are advised to read the product label and instructions for important information regarding safety, intended use, contraindications, warnings, and precautions. This ensures the product is used effectively and safely, aligning with individual care requirements.
