Coloplast 17517 Alterna 1-Piece Light Convex Transparent Bag is an expertly designed ostomy solution for individuals with colostomies or ileostomies whose stomas are flush with the skin or slightly retracted. This light convex system provides a gentle, localized pressure on the peristomal area, helping the stoma to protrude slightly for a more secure and predictable seal. The transparent design is particularly beneficial in healthcare settings and during the early stages of home recovery, as it allows users and caregivers to monitor the stoma and output without removing the pouch.

Built with the reliable Alterna spiral adhesive, this product combines two different materials to balance skin protection and secure adhesion. The spiral structure absorbs moisture from the skin to prevent irritation while maintaining a firm hold on the body, even during light physical activities. Its anatomical shape is designed to move naturally with the body’s contours, making it a dependable choice for patients in India looking for a blend of comfort, visibility, and leak protection in their daily ostomy management.
