The Coloplast Alterna Shallow Convexity Base Plate is an essential component for those managing a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. Designed with precision, this 2-piece ostomy base plate offers a shallow convexity shape, making it ideal for individuals with flush or retracted stomas. Its primary function is to provide a secure and comfortable foundation for ostomy bags, helping to minimize leakage and enhance stoma protrusion through gentle pressure.

Key Features

• Secure Coupling System: The base plate features a 2-piece mechanical coupling system with an audible 'click,' ensuring a secure attachment. The 360° rotation capability allows for optimal positioning of the ostomy bag, enhancing discretion and comfort.

• Skin-Friendly Adhesive: Equipped with a spiral adhesive made from hypoallergenic materials, it offers strong adherence while absorbing moisture. This design protects sensitive skin and maintains durability, even with frequent bag changes.

• Discreet Design: The flat and discreet fit of the base plate ensures comfort and security, making it suitable for daily wear and active lifestyles. It is compatible with various drainable or urostomy bags, whether transparent or opaque.
