Description

The Coloplast Alterna Comfort 1 Piece Drainable Bag is an innovative solution designed for individuals with an ileostomy or colostomy, offering a reliable and discreet pouching system. This one-piece appliance integrates the pouch with a unique spiral adhesive, ensuring secure adherence while protecting the skin. The adhesive's moisture-absorbing properties help prevent irritation, providing comfort and peace of mind.

Key Features

• Baseplate Options: Available in both flat and convex designs, the baseplate caters to various stoma management needs. The convex version applies gentle pressure to the peristomal skin, encouraging stoma protrusion and reducing leakage risk, making it ideal for challenging stomas.

• Easiclose Outlet: The bag features an Easiclose outlet for convenient and hygienic emptying, complemented by a self-adhesive soft closing clip for secure closure and easy cleaning.

• Comfortable Backing: A soft, quick-drying, and breathable fabric backing enhances wearer comfort, while the odour-proof film ensures discretion.

Design Variants

The pouch is available in several design variants:

• Transparent for content visibility
• Opaque for discretion
• Graphic for a decorative touch

Packaging

The bags are available in boxes of 10 or 30, and as single units, depending on the variant, providing flexibility to meet individual needs.

Application Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance, the baseplate should be cut to fit the stoma size and shape accurately. The surrounding skin must be clean and dry before application. Firmly press the adhesive onto the skin, maintaining pressure for several minutes to secure adhesion. The outlet should be closed before use and emptied as needed by opening the outlet.

Removal and Disposal

To remove the bag, gently pull the removal ear and roll the adhesive downwards while applying light pressure to the skin. The bag is intended for single use and should be disposed of with regular household waste.
