Description
SenSura Mio, crafted by Coloplast, is an advanced ostomy care solution designed to provide comfort, discretion, and security for individuals with ileostomy, colostomy, and urostomy needs. This innovative appliance adapts seamlessly to various body shapes and movements, thanks to its unique elastic adhesive technology known as BodyFit Technology. This feature ensures a secure fit, significantly reducing the risk of leakage.
Baseplate Versatility
SenSura Mio offers a range of baseplate options to accommodate different stoma profiles. These include flat, convex, and convex flip variations, each equipped with integrated flexlines for enhanced flexibility and stability. This tailored approach allows users to select the most suitable baseplate for their specific needs, whether dealing with regular, retracted, or outward stomas.
Pouch Design
The pouches are crafted from a soft, textile material in a neutral grey color, ensuring comfort and discretion by minimizing visibility under clothing. The water-resistant, low-friction material dries quickly, making it convenient for everyday activities like showering. Available in various sizes and configurations, the pouches can be transparent, neutral grey, or feature an inspection window, with options for drainable, closed, or urostomy designs.
Advanced Features
A standout feature of the SenSura Mio pouch is the full-circle filter, which effectively reduces ballooning, clogging, and odors. The coupling systems, available in Click and Flex variations, offer secure attachment with either an audible "click" or a flexible adhesive connection for a low-profile fit. Customization is further enhanced with pre-cut or customizable hole sizes and coupling diameters of 35mm, 50mm, and 70mm.
Specialized Variations
SenSura Mio also includes specialized products such as the High Output version with a larger pouch and soft drainable outlet, and the Convex Flip with a starfish-shaped barrier for curved or herniated areas. The SenSura Mio Flex allows for pouch changes without replacing the baseplate, adding to its versatility.
Benefits
The design of SenSura Mio emphasizes discretion and comfort, with its soft material reducing skin irritation and adapting to body contours. The elastic adhesive and tailored baseplate options provide robust leakage protection, while the full-circle filter ensures effective odor control. The product is user-friendly, with straightforward application and removal processes.
Usage and Maintenance
To use, the baseplate is cut to fit snugly around the stoma, secured to the skin, and the pouch is attached using the chosen coupling system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place is recommended, avoiding freezing conditions. Regular replacement as advised by healthcare practitioners is essential to maintain safety and functionality.
System Configurations
SenSura Mio is available in 1-piece and 2-piece systems. The 1-piece system has the barrier permanently attached to the pouch, ideal for users with low dexterity. The 2-piece system allows for more frequent pouch changes, featuring both Click and Flex coupling systems. These configurations cater to a wide range of user needs, promoting skin and stoma health by reducing change frequency and ensuring a secure fit.
