If your stoma sits below skin level, finding the right pouch is essential. The Alterna 1-piece convex bag addresses this specific need with a shaped baseplate that creates a gentle seal without extra steps or components.

Key details to consider when choosing an Alterna 1-piece convex bag:

• Design advantage: The convex curve works with your body's contours rather than against them, reducing common issues like leakage and skin irritation around the stoma.

• Two convex depths: Light convex suits mild retractions while deep convex handles more significant stoma positioning, giving you flexibility in choice.

• Single-unit simplicity: No separate baseplate to attach means fewer moving parts, less handling time, and lower risk of application errors during changes.

• Transparent or opaque materials: Pick the style that fits your lifestyle, whether you prefer checking the pouch's fullness or keeping everything hidden.

• Bottom drainage valve: Empty without peeling off the entire pouch, preserving the seal and extending wear time between changes.

• Skin protection focus: The convex shape minimizes pressure points and keeps stoma output away from surrounding skin, crucial for preventing breakdown.

• Practical for Indian climates: Secure adhesion holds strong even in warm, humid conditions across different regions.

• Medical input recommended: Work with your stoma therapist to confirm which convex option best suits your stoma anatomy.

Finding a pouch that works with your body, not against it, transforms daily comfort and confidence in ostomy care.
