Description

Product description

Alterna 2-piece drainable pouch is a mechanical coupling with extra reassurance
  • The pouch is fixed securely to the baseplate by a mechanical coupling system. An audible ‘click’ confirms the secure locking of the pouch to the baseplate.
  • Before the pouch is locked into position, it can be rotated into the desired position, without having to remove the pouch from the baseplate.
  • The pouch can be removed from the spiral adhesive baseplate, allowing the pouch to be changed more often than the adhesive baseplate.

Alterna 2-piece drainable is available with a standard wear and extended wear baseplate, flat or with convexity. The broad assortment consists of a range of baseplates with pre-cut or hole sizes which can be customized, and with pouches in a variety of sizes available in transparent or opaque colour.

Spiral adhesive, for security and skin friendliness

The Alterna spiral adhesive is a combination of materials designed for security and protection in a spiral-structure, for:
  • Secure adherence to your skin
  • Absorption of moisture from your skin – providing skin friendliness and protection from irritation

Alterna [Extra] adhesive offers extra protection against aggressive output. It is suitable for people with an ileostomy or urostomy that has a more aggressive output which breaks down standard adhesives too quickly.

A comfortable and discrete pouch

Alterna 2-piece drainable has a range of features designed to offer comfort and discretion:
  • Self-adhesive closing clip – a self-adhesive soft closing clip is supplied with the pouch, giving a closure system that is both secure and easy to clean.
  • Soft backing fabric – the side of the pouch that is in contact with the skin features a lining made of soft material, allowing the skin to breath and dries quickly after a shower or swim.
  • Odour proof film – pouch is made of a material that is odour-proof.

Convexity, for stomas that are difficult to manage

Alterna 2-piece drainable is available with two different levels of convexity, designed to help a stoma that is difficult to manage. A special oval-shaped shell creates pressure on the peristomal skin, to reduce the risk of leakage by allowing the stoma to protrude above the skin.

Convex Light:

A solution for flush or slightly retracted stomas, providing extra security through light and delicate pressure on the abdomen.

Convex:

A solution for retracted stomas and deep skin folds and scars, providing extra security through moderate to high pressure on the abdomen.
