Variants

Coloplast SenSura® Mio Concave 1-Piece Drainable Pouches are one-piece drainable ileostomy appliances specifically designed for outward body profiles such as curves, bulges and parastomal hernias.

Unlike a conventional flat or convex appliance, SenSura® Mio Concave incorporates a distinctive curved, star-shaped baseplate designed to fit securely over rounded or outward-projecting areas around the stoma. The individual adhesive petals are designed to hug the body contour while helping reduce unwanted creasing and folding.

A built-in stability ring supports the central area around the stoma, while flexible fit zones and Coloplast's BodyFit Technology® elastic adhesive allow the surrounding baseplate to adapt to movement and changes in body position.

The drainable pouch is particularly suitable for ileostomy and other stomas producing liquid or semi-liquid output, as it can be emptied repeatedly without removing the appliance.

What is SenSura® Mio Concave?

SenSura® Mio Concave is specifically designed for an outward body profile around the stoma.

A conventional flat adhesive can have difficulty following a pronounced outward curve. It may crease, bridge across areas of skin or lift around its edges.

SenSura® Mio Concave instead uses a curved baseplate designed to wrap around the outward shape.

Typical outward profiles include:

  • Rounded abdominal contours

  • Bulges around the stoma

  • Parastomal hernias

  • Prominent outward curves

  • Areas where the abdomen projects around the stoma

Its design is intended to provide closer contact between the adhesive and these curved surfaces.

Concave versus Convex

Concave and convex appliances address fundamentally different body profiles.

Concave

Designed primarily for an outward profile, including:

  • Bulges

  • Rounded curves

  • Parastomal hernias

The baseplate is shaped to wrap around the outward-projecting area.

Convex

Designed primarily for an inward profile or a stoma requiring additional support to protrude.

Convex products may be used for:

  • Flush stomas

  • Retracted stomas

  • Inward dips

  • Deep creases

A Concave appliance should therefore not simply be considered another level of convexity.

Selection should be based on the actual stoma and surrounding body profile.

Star-shaped baseplate

One of the defining features of SenSura® Mio Concave is its star-shaped adhesive baseplate.

The outer adhesive is divided into petal-like sections.

When applied over an outward curve, these petals are designed to:

  • Follow the abdominal contour

  • Wrap around the curved area

  • Reduce adhesive folds

  • Reduce creasing

  • Reduce bridging across the skin

  • Maintain closer contact with the body

This can be especially useful where a conventional flat baseplate tends to crease or lift when placed over a rounded or herniated area.

Built-in stability ring

SenSura® Mio Concave incorporates a stability ring around the central area of the baseplate.

The stability ring helps provide support immediately around the stoma while the outer adhesive adapts to the curved body profile.

It also helps guide where pressure should be applied during fitting.

The design therefore combines:

  • Central stability

  • Flexible outer adaptation

This is particularly important on curved abdominal surfaces where both support and flexibility are required.

Flexible fit zones

The Concave baseplate incorporates flexible fit zones designed to follow natural changes in body shape.

Outward profiles, especially parastomal hernias, can alter considerably when a person:

  • Stands

  • Sits

  • Bends

  • Lies down

  • Walks

  • Changes posture

The fit zones allow the appliance to accommodate movement while helping maintain skin contact.

BodyFit Technology®

SenSura® Mio Concave incorporates Coloplast's BodyFit Technology® elastic adhesive.

The adhesive is designed to stretch and retract with the skin and abdominal contours.

This helps the appliance adapt during:

  • Walking

  • Sitting

  • Bending

  • Stretching

  • Changes in posture

  • Everyday abdominal movement

Close skin contact helps reduce gaps where ileostomy output could reach the peristomal skin.

One-piece appliance

SenSura® Mio Concave is a one-piece appliance.

The pouch and adhesive baseplate are permanently integrated.

There is:

  • No separate pouch

  • No separate baseplate

  • No mechanical coupling ring

When the appliance eventually requires changing, the complete pouch and baseplate are removed and replaced together.

Drainable / open pouch

This version of SenSura® Mio Concave is open and drainable.

It is particularly suitable for ileostomy because ileostomy output is commonly liquid or semi-liquid and may require emptying several times throughout the day.

The pouch can be:

  • Emptied while still attached

  • Closed again after emptying

  • Worn until the complete appliance requires changing

This differs from the SenSura® Mio Concave 1-piece closed range, where the complete pouch is replaced rather than emptied.

Full-circle pre-filter

SenSura® Mio Concave incorporates Coloplast's full-circle pre-filter.

Intestinal gas can collect within an ileostomy pouch and cause the pouch to inflate or balloon.

The full-circle pre-filter is designed to:

  • Help protect the filter from stoma output

  • Support continued gas flow

  • Help reduce filter blockage

  • Reduce incidents of pouch ballooning

  • Filter odour

  • Help maintain a flatter pouch profile

This supports both comfort and discretion during everyday wear.

Drainable outlet

The pouch incorporates a drainable outlet for repeated emptying of ileostomy output.

This allows the user to empty the pouch without removing the appliance from the skin.

The pouch should generally be emptied before it becomes excessively full or heavy.

Regular emptying helps:

  • Reduce weight pulling on the baseplate

  • Reduce tension on the adhesive

  • Improve comfort

  • Maintain discretion

  • Reduce unnecessary stress on the seal

After emptying, ensure that the outlet is correctly cleaned and fully secured according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Neutral Grey textile covering

Most variants use SenSura® Mio's Neutral Grey textile woven covering.

The textile is designed to resemble clothing fabric rather than conventional medical pouch material.

It is:

  • Soft against the body

  • Comfortable during normal wear

  • Discreet beneath clothing

  • Water-repellent

  • Showerproof

The Neutral Grey shade is intended to remain discreet beneath a wide variety of clothing colours.

Inspection window

Neutral Grey variants incorporate an inspection window.

This allows the pouch covering to remain closed during normal use while still providing access to view:

  • The stoma

  • Appliance positioning

  • Stoma output

  • The area immediately around the stoma

The window can then be closed again for discretion.

Transparent option

Reference 18235 is the Maxi Transparent, 10–60mm variant.

It provides continuous visibility of:

  • The stoma

  • Ileostomy output

  • Output consistency

  • Pouch contents

  • Appliance positioning

A transparent appliance may be useful:

  • Following surgery

  • When monitoring a stoma

  • During appliance assessment

  • Where a carer assists with stoma management

  • Where direct visibility is preferred

Mini, Midi or Maxi?

Mini

Reference 18200 is the smallest option.

It provides:

  • Compact pouch profile

  • Neutral Grey covering

  • Inspection window

  • 10–40mm cut-to-fit opening

Mini may suit users with relatively lower output volumes or those prioritising a compact pouch.

Midi

Midi provides a balance between capacity and discretion.

Available options include:

  • 18201 – 10–40mm

  • 18210 – 10–50mm

  • 18212 – pre-cut 25mm

  • 18213 – pre-cut 30mm

Maxi

Maxi provides greater collection capacity and the widest opening selection.

Neutral Grey:

  • 18202 – 10–40mm

  • 18220 – 10–50mm

  • 18230 – 10–60mm

  • 18222 – pre-cut 30mm

  • 18223 – pre-cut 35mm

  • 18231 – pre-cut 40mm

Transparent:

  • 18235 – 10–60mm

Maxi may be particularly appropriate where output is frequent or a larger pouch capacity is preferred.

Cut-to-fit options

The current range includes the following starter-hole / cutting ranges:

  • 10–40mm

  • 10–50mm

  • 10–60mm

Cut-to-fit products may be useful where:

  • The stoma does not correspond to a standard pre-cut diameter

  • The stoma is irregular in shape

  • Stoma dimensions are changing

  • An individually shaped opening is required

Do not cut outside the stated cutting range for the selected appliance.

Pre-cut options

Available pre-cut openings include:

  • 25mm

  • 30mm

  • 35mm

  • 40mm

Pre-cut products may provide greater convenience where the stoma has reached a stable size and closely matches one of the available openings.

Choosing the correct opening

Measure the stoma using an appropriate stoma measuring guide.

The finished opening should:

  • Fit closely around the stoma

  • Avoid rubbing against it

  • Avoid constricting it

  • Minimise exposed peristomal skin

  • Follow the actual shape of the stoma where required

This is particularly important with ileostomy output because prolonged contact between digestive output and exposed skin can cause irritation.

An opening that is too large may allow output to reach the skin.

An opening that is too small may rub against or constrict the stoma.

Body profile is as important as stoma size

Correct opening size alone does not guarantee an appropriate appliance fit.

SenSura® Mio Concave is specifically intended for an outward body profile, so appliance selection should also consider:

  • Shape of the abdomen

  • Presence of a bulge

  • Presence of a parastomal hernia

  • Depth and shape of the outward curve

  • Position of the stoma on the curve

  • Changes in abdominal shape during movement

  • Previous leakage

  • Peristomal skin condition

Where possible, the body profile should be assessed in different positions because the shape of a bulge or hernia can change significantly between standing, sitting and lying down.

Applying SenSura® Mio Concave:

Wash and dry your hands.

Measure the stoma where required.

Select the appropriate pouch size and opening.

Prepare the opening according to the manufacturer's cutting guide if using a cut-to-fit appliance.

Ensure the drainage outlet is securely closed.

Gently remove the existing appliance while supporting the surrounding skin.

Clean the peristomal skin according to the normal stoma-care routine.

Ensure the skin is appropriately clean and dry.

Remove the protective backing from the adhesive.

Centre the opening carefully over the stoma.

Apply pressure around the stability ring to establish secure contact around the stoma.

Smooth the star-shaped adhesive petals outward over the curved abdominal profile.

Ensure that the petals follow the body contour.

Check for:

  • Gaps

  • Folds

  • Creases

  • Lifted adhesive

  • Areas where the adhesive bridges over rather than contacts the skin

Apply gentle hand pressure to help establish an effective seal.

Always follow Coloplast's specific application instructions supplied with the appliance.

Emptying the pouch:

Empty the pouch before it becomes excessively full or heavy.

Position the outlet over a toilet or appropriate receptacle.

Open the drainage outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Allow the pouch contents to drain.

Clean the end of the outlet as required.

Securely close the outlet.

Check that it is completely closed before repositioning clothing.

Regular emptying helps reduce weight and tension on the Concave adhesive system.

Changing the appliance:

Because SenSura® Mio Concave is a one-piece appliance, the complete pouch and adhesive baseplate are removed together when a full appliance change is required.

Wash and dry your hands.

Gently lift an edge of the adhesive.

Support the surrounding skin while slowly peeling the appliance away.

Avoid rapidly pulling the adhesive from the skin.

Dispose of the used appliance appropriately.

Clean and inspect the peristomal skin before applying a replacement pouch.

Parastomal hernias and bulges

SenSura® Mio Concave is specifically designed to fit outward curves, including those associated with parastomal hernias.

However, the appliance does not treat the underlying hernia.

Changes in:

  • Hernia size

  • Shape of the abdomen

  • Stoma size

  • Stoma function

  • Appliance fit

  • Frequency of leakage

may mean that the appliance needs reassessment.

A rapidly enlarging bulge, severe pain, persistent vomiting, marked stoma changes or unexpected reduction or cessation of output with symptoms suggesting obstruction requires appropriate clinical assessment.

What is SenSura® Mio Concave?

SenSura® Mio Concave is specifically designed for an outward body profile around the stoma.

A conventional flat adhesive can have difficulty following a pronounced outward curve. It may crease, bridge across areas of skin or lift around its edges.

SenSura® Mio Concave instead uses a curved baseplate designed to wrap around the outward shape.

Typical outward profiles include:

  • Rounded abdominal contours

  • Bulges around the stoma

  • Parastomal hernias

  • Prominent outward curves

  • Areas where the abdomen projects around the stoma

Its design is intended to provide closer contact between the adhesive and these curved surfaces.

Concave versus Convex

Concave and convex appliances address fundamentally different body profiles.

Concave

Designed primarily for an outward profile, including:

  • Bulges

  • Rounded curves

  • Parastomal hernias

The baseplate is shaped to wrap around the outward-projecting area.

Convex

Designed primarily for an inward profile or a stoma requiring additional support to protrude.

Convex products may be used for:

  • Flush stomas

  • Retracted stomas

  • Inward dips

  • Deep creases

A Concave appliance should therefore not simply be considered another level of convexity.

Selection should be based on the actual stoma and surrounding body profile.

Star-shaped baseplate

One of the defining features of SenSura® Mio Concave is its star-shaped adhesive baseplate.

The outer adhesive is divided into petal-like sections.

When applied over an outward curve, these petals are designed to:

  • Follow the abdominal contour

  • Wrap around the curved area

  • Reduce adhesive folds

  • Reduce creasing

  • Reduce bridging across the skin

  • Maintain closer contact with the body

This can be especially useful where a conventional flat baseplate tends to crease or lift when placed over a rounded or herniated area.

Built-in stability ring

SenSura® Mio Concave incorporates a stability ring around the central area of the baseplate.

The stability ring helps provide support immediately around the stoma while the outer adhesive adapts to the curved body profile.

It also helps guide where pressure should be applied during fitting.

The design therefore combines:

  • Central stability

  • Flexible outer adaptation

This is particularly important on curved abdominal surfaces where both support and flexibility are required.

The Concave baseplate incorporates flexible fit zones designed to follow natural changes in body shape.

Outward profiles, especially parastomal hernias, can alter considerably when a person:

  • Stands

  • Sits

  • Bends

  • Lies down

  • Walks

  • Changes posture

The fit zones allow the appliance to accommodate movement while helping maintain skin contact.

SenSura® Mio Concave is a one-piece appliance.

The pouch and adhesive baseplate are permanently integrated.

There is:

  • No separate pouch

  • No separate baseplate

  • No mechanical coupling ring

When the appliance eventually requires changing, the complete pouch and baseplate are removed and replaced together.

Drainable / open pouch

This version of SenSura® Mio Concave is open and drainable.

It is particularly suitable for ileostomy because ileostomy output is commonly liquid or semi-liquid and may require emptying several times throughout the day.

The pouch can be:

  • Emptied while still attached

  • Closed again after emptying

  • Worn until the complete appliance requires changing

This differs from the SenSura® Mio Concave 1-piece closed range, where the complete pouch is replaced rather than emptied.

Full-circle pre-filter

SenSura® Mio Concave incorporates Coloplast's full-circle pre-filter.

Intestinal gas can collect within an ileostomy pouch and cause the pouch to inflate or balloon.

The full-circle pre-filter is designed to:

  • Help protect the filter from stoma output

  • Support continued gas flow

  • Help reduce filter blockage

  • Reduce incidents of pouch ballooning

  • Filter odour

  • Help maintain a flatter pouch profile

This supports both comfort and discretion during everyday wear.

Drainable outlet

The pouch incorporates a drainable outlet for repeated emptying of ileostomy output.

This allows the user to empty the pouch without removing the appliance from the skin.

The pouch should generally be emptied before it becomes excessively full or heavy.

Regular emptying helps:

  • Reduce weight pulling on the baseplate

  • Reduce tension on the adhesive

  • Improve comfort

  • Maintain discretion

  • Reduce unnecessary stress on the seal

After emptying, ensure that the outlet is correctly cleaned and fully secured according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Neutral Grey textile covering

Most variants use SenSura® Mio's Neutral Grey textile woven covering.

The textile is designed to resemble clothing fabric rather than conventional medical pouch material.

It is:

  • Soft against the body

  • Comfortable during normal wear

  • Discreet beneath clothing

  • Water-repellent

  • Showerproof

The Neutral Grey shade is intended to remain discreet beneath a wide variety of clothing colours.

Inspection window

Neutral Grey variants incorporate an inspection window.

This allows the pouch covering to remain closed during normal use while still providing access to view:

  • The stoma

  • Appliance positioning

  • Stoma output

  • The area immediately around the stoma

The window can then be closed again for discretion.

Transparent option

Reference 18235 is the Maxi Transparent, 10–60mm variant.

It provides continuous visibility of:

  • The stoma

  • Ileostomy output

  • Output consistency

  • Pouch contents

  • Appliance positioning

A transparent appliance may be useful:

  • Following surgery

  • When monitoring a stoma

  • During appliance assessment

  • Where a carer assists with stoma management

  • Where direct visibility is preferred

Mini, Midi or Maxi?

Mini

Reference 18200 is the smallest option.

It provides:

  • Compact pouch profile

  • Neutral Grey covering

  • Inspection window

  • 10–40mm cut-to-fit opening

Mini may suit users with relatively lower output volumes or those prioritising a compact pouch.

Midi

Midi provides a balance between capacity and discretion.

Available options include:

  • 18201 – 10–40mm

  • 18210 – 10–50mm

  • 18212 – pre-cut 25mm

  • 18213 – pre-cut 30mm

Maxi

Maxi provides greater collection capacity and the widest opening selection.

Neutral Grey:

  • 18202 – 10–40mm

  • 18220 – 10–50mm

  • 18230 – 10–60mm

  • 18222 – pre-cut 30mm

  • 18223 – pre-cut 35mm

  • 18231 – pre-cut 40mm

Transparent:

  • 18235 – 10–60mm

Maxi may be particularly appropriate where output is frequent or a larger pouch capacity is preferred.

Cut-to-fit options

The current range includes the following starter-hole / cutting ranges:

  • 10–40mm

  • 10–50mm

  • 10–60mm

Cut-to-fit products may be useful where:

  • The stoma does not correspond to a standard pre-cut diameter

  • The stoma is irregular in shape

  • Stoma dimensions are changing

  • An individually shaped opening is required

Do not cut outside the stated cutting range for the selected appliance.

Pre-cut options

Available pre-cut openings include:

  • 25mm

  • 30mm

  • 35mm

  • 40mm

Pre-cut products may provide greater convenience where the stoma has reached a stable size and closely matches one of the available openings.

Choosing the correct opening

Measure the stoma using an appropriate stoma measuring guide.

The finished opening should:

  • Fit closely around the stoma

  • Avoid rubbing against it

  • Avoid constricting it

  • Minimise exposed peristomal skin

  • Follow the actual shape of the stoma where required

This is particularly important with ileostomy output because prolonged contact between digestive output and exposed skin can cause irritation.

An opening that is too large may allow output to reach the skin.

An opening that is too small may rub against or constrict the stoma.

Body profile is as important as stoma size

Correct opening size alone does not guarantee an appropriate appliance fit.

SenSura® Mio Concave is specifically intended for an outward body profile, so appliance selection should also consider:

  • Shape of the abdomen

  • Presence of a bulge

  • Presence of a parastomal hernia

  • Depth and shape of the outward curve

  • Position of the stoma on the curve

  • Changes in abdominal shape during movement

  • Previous leakage

  • Peristomal skin condition

Where possible, the body profile should be assessed in different positions because the shape of a bulge or hernia can change significantly between standing, sitting and lying down.

Applying SenSura® Mio Concave:

Wash and dry your hands.

Measure the stoma where required.

Select the appropriate pouch size and opening.

Prepare the opening according to the manufacturer's cutting guide if using a cut-to-fit appliance.

Ensure the drainage outlet is securely closed.

Gently remove the existing appliance while supporting the surrounding skin.

Clean the peristomal skin according to the normal stoma-care routine.

Ensure the skin is appropriately clean and dry.

Remove the protective backing from the adhesive.

Centre the opening carefully over the stoma.

Apply pressure around the stability ring to establish secure contact around the stoma.

Smooth the star-shaped adhesive petals outward over the curved abdominal profile.

Ensure that the petals follow the body contour.

Check for:

  • Gaps

  • Folds

  • Creases

  • Lifted adhesive

  • Areas where the adhesive bridges over rather than contacts the skin

Apply gentle hand pressure to help establish an effective seal.

Always follow Coloplast's specific application instructions supplied with the appliance.

Emptying the pouch:

Empty the pouch before it becomes excessively full or heavy.

Position the outlet over a toilet or appropriate receptacle.

Open the drainage outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Allow the pouch contents to drain.

Clean the end of the outlet as required.

Securely close the outlet.

Check that it is completely closed before repositioning clothing.

Regular emptying helps reduce weight and tension on the Concave adhesive system.

Changing the appliance:

Because SenSura® Mio Concave is a one-piece appliance, the complete pouch and adhesive baseplate are removed together when a full appliance change is required.

Wash and dry your hands.

Gently lift an edge of the adhesive.

Support the surrounding skin while slowly peeling the appliance away.

Avoid rapidly pulling the adhesive from the skin.

Dispose of the used appliance appropriately.

Clean and inspect the peristomal skin before applying a replacement pouch.

Parastomal hernias and bulges

SenSura® Mio Concave is specifically designed to fit outward curves, including those associated with parastomal hernias.

However, the appliance does not treat the underlying hernia.

Changes in:

  • Hernia size

  • Shape of the abdomen

  • Stoma size

  • Stoma function

  • Appliance fit

  • Frequency of leakage

may mean that the appliance needs reassessment.

A rapidly enlarging bulge, severe pain, persistent vomiting, marked stoma changes or unexpected reduction or cessation of output with symptoms suggesting obstruction requires appropriate clinical assessment.
