Do you need a flat, convex or concave?
The SenSura Mio range lets you choose between a flat, a convex or a concave baseplate. What's best for you depends on the area around your ostomy and the position of the ostomy.
If the area around your ostomy is deep-seated or uneven, a convex baseplate can help provide a good fit. The curved shape of SenSura Mio Convex provides support and comes in three sizes: Soft, Light and Deep.
- The Soft Convex can provide the proper support in the area around the ostomy, if it is above skin level.
- The Light Convex has a light curve that gently helps the ostomy protrude, if it is in level with the skin or in a slightly deep-seated area.
- The Deep Convex is suitable, if your ostomy is below skin level and needs a lot of help to protrude. It has a deep curve, which provides a good grip.
A Coloplast® Charter professional can help identify which size is right for you.
If the area around your ostomy is an outward bulge, curve or hernia, a SenSura Mio Concave solution may be the right solution for you. It is the first appliance specially designed for outward areas. Its concave baseplate supports your stoma with less creasing and folding in the adhesive.
Secure fit with elastic adhesive
Your skin is elastic. Therefore, the SenSura Mio range features an elastic adhesive that fits individual shapes and follows natural body movements to maintain a secure fit.
Feel free to wear white
Do you worry that your pouch will be visible underneath your clothes? The SenSura Mio pouch is available in a neutral-grey, woven textile to optimize discretion under all clothing colours - even white. And because it's woven, the pouch feels soft against the skin and provides low friction against clothing.
1-piece or 2-piece solution? What to choose?
There are advantages to both systems. Making a selection comes down to what's most convenient for you.
If you use a SenSura Mio 1-piece urostomy solution, the baseplate (flat, Convex or Concave) is permanently fixed to the pouch. To change the pouch, the whole appliance is removed and replaced. This avoids the risk of any output hiding under the baseplate for too long.
With a 2-piece solution, the pouch and baseplate are two separate items. You will probably change the pouch more often than the baseplate, and you are able to switch among different pouch sizes depending on your need. This can come in handy when you are going out and may prefer a smaller and more discreet bag.
Do you prefer a click coupling or a flexible adhesive coupling?
If you want to feel reassured that your system is coupled correctly, the SenSura Mio with a click coupling has a wave-shaped lock-ring which gives an audible "click" when the pouch is securely locked to the baseplate.
Would you like to combine the flexibility of a 1-piece appliance with the convenience of a 2-piece appliance? Then SenSura Mio with a flexible adhesive coupling may be your solution.
