Description

The Coloplast Alterna Extra Base Plate is an essential component for those utilizing ostomy care systems. Designed with versatility and comfort in mind, this base plate is compatible with Coloplast Assura/Alterna 1-piece and 2-piece systems, providing a reliable connection to both drainable and urostomy bags.

Key Features

• Secure Attachment: The mechanical coupling system offers an audible "click," ensuring a secure fit. This feature allows for 360° rotation of the bag before locking, providing flexible positioning to suit individual needs.

• Design Variants: Available in both flat and deep convexity designs. The flat base plate offers a low-profile for discretion, while the deep convexity variant provides a secure fit to help prevent leakage, accommodating stoma sizes between 15–23 mm.

Adhesive Technology

The base plate features a spiral-structure adhesive crafted from skin-friendly materials. This innovative adhesive provides strong adherence, excellent moisture absorption, and enhanced skin protection. It is designed to minimize irritation, maintain skin health, and resist erosion for added durability.

Size Options

The Alterna Extra Base Plate comes in various sizes with both pre-cut and cut-to-fit options. Common pre-cut hole sizes include 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, and 40mm, with coupling diameters of 40mm, 50mm, and 60mm. This range allows for personalized fitting to meet diverse needs.

Additional Benefits

• Discreet Design: A soft front ensures discretion, while an efficient filter (where specified) helps prevent odour.
• Ease of Use: Designed for frequent bag changes without compromising adhesion, making application and removal straightforward.
• Single-Use: Intended for single-use only, it should not be reused, reprocessed, or sterilized.

Intended Use

Ideal for individuals with colostomy or ileostomy, the Alterna Extra Base Plate secures the ostomy bag to the peristomal skin, providing a smooth fit and reducing the risk of leakage and skin irritation. It offers long-term comfort and reliability, making it a trusted choice in ostomy care.

Packaging

Typically packaged in boxes containing 4 or 5 base plates, the quantity varies by variant. Each box includes base plates of the specified size and type, ready for convenient use.

Application and Removal

To apply, cut the base plate to fit the stoma size as needed, remove the protective paper, and press the adhesive firmly against the skin. Attach the bag using the lock ring mechanism for 2-piece systems. For removal, peel downward while holding the skin taut.
