Coloplast Alterna Long Wear base Plate 13171

Product Description

• Alterna Long Wear base plate 13171 - 40 mm

Alterna 2-piece is a mechanical coupling with extra reassurance

• The pouch is fixed securely to the baseplate with 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 systems are available with a flat or convex standard wear or extended wear baseplate. These are combined with drainable, closed or urostomy pouches, as well as a range of special solutions such as a night bag, minicap and much more. The broad assortment consists of a range of baseplates with pre-cut or hole sizes that can be customized, and with pouches in a variety of sizes available in transparent or opaque.
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 that breaks down standard adhesives too quickly.
Convexity, for stomas that are difficult to manage
Alterna 2-piece baseplates are available with two different levels of convexity, designed to help a stoma that is difficult to manage, for example a stoma that is flush, retracted, or located in a skin fold. It applies pressure on the peristomal skin to reduce the risk of leakage by allowing the stoma to protrude.
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.
Ask your enterostomal therapy nurse for more information about convexity.
