Coloplast Alterna is a one-piece deep convex transparent drainable ostomy bag designed for colostomy and ileostomy patients with retracted stomas or a stoma situated in deep skin folds. Its deep convex baseplate applies firm pressure around the stoma to ensure proper protrusion and a secure, leak-resistant seal.

It features Coloplast's spiral adhesive with six flex zones, moves naturally with the body while absorbing excess moisture and maintaining the skin's natural pH, making it ideal for patients with sensitive peristomal skin. It includes a wide, hide-away drainable outlet secured with an integrated Velcro fastening for hygienic, leak-proof emptying, along with a built-in charcoal gas filter that prevents ballooning and maintains a discreet, odour-free experience.

Its transparent front panel allows easy monitoring of stoma output without removing the bag, particularly useful during post-operative recovery and clinical assessments. Its soft, skin-friendly materials ensure all-day wearing comfort, while the simple one-piece design empowers patients to manage their stoma independently with confidence.
