Coloplast 17482 Alterna 1-Piece Deep Convex Urostomy Bag (Pack of 10pcs)

Coloplast 17482 Alterna 1-Piece Deep Convex Transparent Urostomy Bag

The Coloplast Alterna 17482 1-Piece Deep Convex Urostomy Bag is designed for urostomy care and features a deep convex baseplate with a 15–43 mm cut-to-fit opening. The transparent Maxi-size pouch combines the pouch and adhesive baseplate into a single appliance, making it suitable for users who prefer a one-piece urostomy system.

The Alterna range incorporates a spiral adhesive designed to provide secure adherence while absorbing moisture from the skin. The urostomy pouch also features an easy-to-use outlet and a non-return valve for urine management.

Deep Convex Design

The deep convex design is intended for stomas that may be retracted or located in deeper skin folds or scars. Coloplast describes convexity as a solution intended to help difficult-to-manage stomas by applying pressure around the stoma to encourage protrusion and reduce the risk of leakage. Users should consult their stoma care nurse or healthcare professional when selecting the appropriate convexity.

Spiral Adhesive

The Alterna spiral adhesive is designed as a combination of materials arranged in a spiral structure. It is intended to provide secure adherence and absorb moisture from the skin, supporting skin friendliness and protection from irritation.

Convenient Urostomy Outlet

The urostomy pouch has a soft outlet designed to facilitate emptying. The pouch design is intended to help minimize residual urine after emptying.

Non-Return Valve

The integrated non-return valve helps prevent urine from flowing back toward the stoma. This feature is designed to support convenient urine management and help reduce the risk associated with urine contacting the stoma area.

Transparent Pouch

The transparent pouch allows users and caregivers to observe the pouch contents, which can be useful for monitoring urine output and pouch status.
