Coloplast SenSura® 60mm Transparent Bag ( 10386 )

The SenSura® 2-Piece Transparent Drainable Bag is a component of a two-piece ostomy system designed for the management of output from an ileostomy or colostomy. This drainable pouch facilitates the collection of solid or semi-solid stoma output. The bag features a transparent viewing panel on one side, allowing for visual inspection of the stoma and its output.

The coupling mechanism is designed for secure attachment to a corresponding baseplate, providing a reliable seal. The bag is equipped with a filter intended to manage gas and reduce odor. The outlet is designed for ease of emptying and is secured with a Velcro closure.

This product is intended for use by individuals with a surgically created stoma, as well as their caregivers, under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The transparent design aids in monitoring stoma output, which can be important for assessing stoma health and fluid balance. The filter's function is to allow gas to escape from the bag, thereby preventing distension or ballooning, while also helping to neutralize odors.

The drainable nature of the bag allows for repeated emptying and resealing, making it a reusable option between changes of the baseplate. The Velcro closure ensures a secure seal after the outlet has been emptied. The 60mm coupling size indicates the diameter of the opening that connects to the baseplate, and it is compatible with specific SenSura® baseplates that share this coupling dimension.

The materials used are selected for their compatibility with skin and for their ability to contain stoma output effectively. The transparent side is constructed from a durable yet flexible film, while the non-transparent side, if present, would be made from a material designed for discretion and comfort. The integrated filter is a permeable membrane designed to allow gas passage while preventing liquid and solid matter from escaping.

The Velcro closure provides a reliable method for securing the emptied outlet. This product is part of a system where the bag is attached to a separate skin barrier or baseplate, allowing for the bag to be removed and emptied without disturbing the baseplate on the skin. The rotation capability of the coupling allows for optimal positioning of the bag.
