SenSura® Mio 1-Piece Deep Convex Opaque Bag ( 16446 )

The SenSura Mio 1-Piece Deep Convex Opaque Drainable Bag is a medical device designed for ostomy management. This system integrates the pouch and the skin barrier into a single unit, simplifying application and ensuring a secure fit. The deep convex baseplate is engineered to provide firm and consistent pressure around the stoma, which is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing stoma retraction or those with stomas situated in deep skin folds or uneven peristomal areas.

This specific design aims to encourage the stoma to protrude sufficiently, thereby enhancing the seal and reducing the risk of leakage. The opaque pouch is suitable for managing solid or semi-solid stoma output, offering discretion and confidence to the user. The material is designed to be water-repellent, allowing for activities such as bathing and swimming without compromising the integrity of the appliance.

The core functionality of this ostomy bag relies on its deep convex baseplate and BodyFit technology. The deep convex shape is crucial for creating a secure seal on challenging stoma sites. BodyFit technology refers to the adhesive's ability to conform to the contours of the body, adapting to movement and irregular skin surfaces to maintain a reliable barrier.

This flexibility is further supported by integrated Flexlines within the adhesive, which allow the appliance to move with the body, preventing undue stress on the seal and enhancing user comfort during daily activities. The neutral grey fabric of the pouch is designed for discretion, blending with skin tones and remaining less visible under clothing.

Key features of this device include its deep convex baseplate, which is specifically designed to address issues associated with retracted stomas or those in uneven skin topography. This feature aims to promote stoma protrusion and improve the seal's efficacy. The BodyFit technology ensures a secure and comfortable fit by allowing the adhesive to mold to the body's shape and accommodate movement.

The pouch material is water-repellent, offering protection during water-based activities. A circular filter is incorporated to help mitigate the issue of pouch ballooning, which can lead to odor and affect discretion. The drainable outlet is designed for ease of emptying and cleaning, featuring a secure closure mechanism for leak prevention.

This product is intended for use by individuals with an ostomy, including patients, caregivers, and medical professionals such as stoma nurses and general practitioners. It is particularly suited for those with specific stoma characteristics that require enhanced support and a secure seal, such as retracted stomas or stomas located in deep skin folds. The drainable nature of the pouch makes it appropriate for managing a range of stoma output consistencies, from solid to semi-solid.

Typical applications for the SenSura Mio 1-Piece Deep Convex Opaque Drainable Bag include daily ostomy care for individuals with colostomies or ileostomies. It is indicated for use in situations where a secure and conforming seal is paramount, especially on challenging peristomal skin. The deep convex design is a key consideration for managing stomas that do not protrude well or are situated in areas prone to leakage due to skin contours.

The water-repellent fabric and discreet design also support an active lifestyle for the user.

Important usage notes include ensuring the peristomal skin is clean and dry before application to achieve optimal adhesion. The deep convex baseplate should be carefully molded around the stoma to ensure it applies appropriate pressure. Regular monitoring of the skin barrier and pouch is recommended to ensure continued security and prevent leakage.

The drainable outlet should be securely closed after emptying to maintain a leak-proof seal. The product is designed for single-use application per pouch change.
