With Alterna 1-piece urostomy, the adhesive is permanently fixed to the bag. To change the bag, the whole appliance is removed and replaced.

Alterna 1-piece urostomy appliances are available with flat or convex baseplates. The broad assortment consists of various pre-cut or hole sizes which can be customized, with bags in two sizes available in transparent or opaque colour.

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

A comfortable and discrete bag

• Alterna 1-piece urostomy has a range of features designed to offer comfort and discretion:
• Secure and easy to use outlet - soft plastic outlet is easy to handle, and design of the bag ensures there is no residual urine left in the bag after emptying.
• Non-return valve - prevents the urine from washing over the stoma, reducing the risk of urinary infections.

Convexity, for stomas that are difficult to manage

Alterna 1-piece urostomy is available with convexity, designed to help a stoma that is difficult to manage, for example a stoma that is retracted, or located in a deep skin fold or scar. It applies moderate to high pressure on the peristomal skin to reduce the risk of leakage by allowing the stoma to protrude. Ask your stoma care nurse for more information about convexity.
