Description
The SenSura Mio Flex by Coloplast is an innovative 2-piece ostomy pouching system designed to provide comfort, discretion, and adaptability for individuals with a stoma. This system features separate components: a pouch and a baseplate, connected through a flexible and discreet Flex coupling system. This design allows for easy pouch changes without the need to remove or replace the baseplate, enhancing convenience for both adult and pediatric users.
Baseplate Options
The baseplate, or barrier, is available in various forms including flat, convex, and Convex Flip, catering to different stoma profiles and body shapes. The convex variant includes integrated flexlines, offering flexibility and stability for inward stomas or challenging body contours. Equipped with BodyFit Technology, the elastic adhesive ensures a secure fit by moving with the skin, providing comfort and reducing the risk of detachment. Customizable and pre-cut hole sizes are available to meet individual needs.
Pouch Features
The pouch is designed for discretion and comfort, available in mini, midi, and maxi sizes, with the maxi holding up to 510ml. It comes in transparent, neutral grey, or with an inspection window. Made from a soft, water-repellent textile material, the pouch minimizes friction against clothing and remains dry after showering. Its quiet, woven texture enhances discretion, while the swiveling feature allows for easy repositioning.
Coupling System
The Flex coupling system is flat, flexible, and adapts seamlessly to body contours. Available in diameters of 35mm, 50mm, and 70mm, it includes a floating flange on convex variants to attach the pouch without applying pressure on the stoma.
Filter and Special Features
A full-circle filter with a unique pre-filter reduces ballooning by up to 61%, providing effective odour control. The pediatric version includes features such as a gentle adhesive, easy removal tabs, and an access window, designed to protect delicate skin and facilitate care.
Practical Use
SenSura Mio Flex is crafted to follow natural body movements, making it suitable for use over hernias, scarring, and skin folds. The drainable pouches feature a hide-away outlet and VELCRO Brand fasteners for secure closure. Stickers are provided to cover the filter during water activities, and multilingual instructions are included to guide users.
Intended Use
This system is intended for individuals with colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy, accommodating a wide range of body types and stoma positions. With options tailored for both adults and children, it aims to deliver secure, discreet, and comfortable ostomy care.
Maintenance
The independent changeability of the pouch and baseplate simplifies maintenance. Cleaning and disposal instructions are provided, and the use of adhesive remover is recommended for gentle removal, ensuring skin protection.
