• 2-Piece Systems separate the baseplate from the pouch and secure with an audible “click.” Alterna, SenSura, and SenSura Mio each list opaque 2-piece pouches compatible with matching flat or convex baseplates.

Colostomy/Ileostomy vs Urostomy Options

• Colostomy / Ileostomy Bags:
• Alterna and SenSura series supply classic drainable opaque colostomy/ileostomy pouch types in both 1- and 2-piece formats.

  • Alterna features opaque urostomy Coloplast bags with anti-reflux valves and bottom drainage taps.
