Alterna® Free 2-piece urostomy pouch

Alterna® Free 2-piece urostomy 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® Free 2-piece urostomy 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 two pouch sizes available in transparent or white colour.
 

Spiral adhesive, for security and skin friendliness

• Secure adherence to your skin
• Absorption of moisture from your skin - providing skin friendliness and protection from irritation
   

Alterna 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

• Non-return valve - prevents the urine from washing over the stoma, reducing the risk of urinary infections.
• Tuck-away outlet - easy to use and can be tucked away when not in use. This prevents it from rubbing on your leg, offering more comfort and discretion.
• Multichambers - the pouch has been divided into chambers which spread the urine evenly within the pouch. This allows it to have a flat and discreet profile and reduces splashing sounds.
   

Convexity, for stomas that are difficult to manage

Alterna® Free 2-piece urostomy is 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 stoma care nurse for more information about convexity.
