Coloplast 1971 Alterna 2-Piece Flat Baseplate is a foundational component for individuals managing a urostomy, designed to offer a secure and skin-friendly connection between the body and the ostomy pouch. This flat baseplate is specifically engineered for users with stomas that protrude normally above the skin level. By utilizing a 2-piece system, it allows the user to change the urostomy bag without removing the baseplate from the skin, which helps preserve skin integrity and provides greater convenience during daily routines in both home and clinical environments.

At the core of this baseplate is the Alterna spiral adhesive technology, a unique combination of materials designed for both security and protection. The spiral structure integrates a moisture-absorbing layer that keeps the peristomal skin dry and healthy, alongside a highly cohesive layer that ensures the plate stays firmly in place. With its 40mm flange size, it offers a reliable mechanical coupling system that gives an audible "click" when the pouch is securely locked, providing users in India with the confidence they need to lead an active and worry-free lifestyle.
