Description

The Coloplast Alterna Extra Base Plate is an essential component of a two-piece ostomy system, designed to provide secure and comfortable attachment for ostomy bags. This product is tailored for individuals with colostomies, ileostomies, or urostomies, ensuring reliable adherence to the peristomal skin while serving as a stable connection point for compatible ostomy bags.

Design Variants

• Flat Variant: Offers a low-profile design for enhanced comfort and discretion.
• Deep Convexity Variant: Provides a secure fit by distributing pressure evenly around the stoma, helping to prevent leakage.

Adhesive Technology

The base plate features a spiral adhesive crafted from skin-friendly materials. This adhesive ensures strong adherence, excellent moisture absorption, and enhanced skin protection, reducing irritation and promoting skin health.

Coupling System

A mechanical coupling system with an audible 'click' confirms secure attachment. This system allows 360° rotation of the bag before locking, enabling optimal positioning and facilitating frequent bag changes without compromising skin adhesion.

Compatibility

• Compatible with both one-piece and two-piece ostomy appliances.
• Suitable for various drainable or urostomy bags, whether transparent or opaque.
• Designed for extended wear time.

User-Friendly Application

The base plate is easy to apply and remove, intended for single-use only. It should not be reused, reprocessed, or sterilized, ensuring hygiene and safety.

Material Quality

Constructed from durable, skin-friendly, and hypoallergenic materials, the base plate minimizes the risk of irritation or allergic reactions. Some variants include additional features such as belt tab clips and erosion-resistant wafers.
