Description

The SenSura Flex Flat Base Plate by Coloplast is an integral component of a two-piece ostomy appliance system, tailored for those managing colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy care. This innovative base plate is designed with a flexible, flat adhesive coupling, allowing seamless attachment to compatible pouches. This feature enables users to change the pouch without needing to replace the base plate, enhancing convenience and reducing skin disturbance.

Unique Adhesive Technology

At the core of its design is the SenSura double-layer adhesive. This technology includes:

• Protection Layer: Shields the skin from stoma output.
• Skin Care Layer: Absorbs excess moisture, promoting healthier skin.

The elastic nature of the adhesive allows it to stretch and retract with the skin, providing a secure fit that adapts to individual body shapes and movements.

Design and Material

Crafted from a neutral grey textile material, the base plate offers discretion and comfort. Its low friction against clothing and resistance to feeling wet after showering add to its practical benefits. The flexible coupling system ensures the base plate maintains a discreet, flat profile, adapting seamlessly to body contours.

Compatibility and Features

The SenSura Flex Flat Base Plate is available in both flat and convex versions, compatible with a variety of pouch types—drainable, closed, or urostomy—in different sizes and colors. It includes a full-circle filter with a pre-filter to reduce ballooning and can connect to overnight drainage bags for urostomy use.

Practical Details

• Hole Sizes: Customizable, with pre-cut options ranging from 10–48 mm.
• Coupling Diameters: Available in 35 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, and 70 mm.
• Box Contents: Typically supplied in boxes of 6 or 10 base plates.

Each base plate is intended for single use, featuring a white removal ear for gentle detachment. Users are advised to follow healthcare practitioner recommendations for changing the base plate and to be mindful of any adhesive tape allergies.

Instructions and Precautions

Proper application involves cutting a hole to fit the stoma size and shape, adhering to peristomal skin. Users should always read the label and instructions for comprehensive guidance on use, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.

The SenSura Flex Flat Base Plate exemplifies Coloplast's commitment to providing secure, comfortable, and discreet solutions for ostomy care, tailored to meet diverse individual needs.
