Coloplast SenSura® Soft Seal Convex 1-Piece Closed Colostomy Pouches – Midi & Maxi – Pack of 10

Coloplast SenSura® Soft Seal 1-Piece Closed Pouches are convex colostomy appliances designed for stomas that need moderate support to protrude and for dipped peristomal areas where a gentle curved baseplate can help achieve secure contact with the skin.

SenSura® Soft Seal combines an integrated convex adhesive baseplate with a closed pouch to form a complete one-piece appliance. The adhesive incorporates a protection layer designed to protect the skin from stoma output and a skin-care layer that absorbs excess moisture, helping maintain a secure seal and healthy peristomal skin.

The pouches also incorporate an integrated dual-filter system to help manage intestinal gas, reduce ballooning and neutralise odour, together with a soft, water-repellent backing on covered versions.

This listing includes Midi and Maxi pouch sizes, cut-to-fit and pre-cut stoma openings, opaque/soft-cover and transparent options, all supplied in packs of 10.

Soft Seal convexity

SenSura® Soft Seal is designed for stomas that require moderate help to protrude.

The curved adhesive profile applies controlled support around the stoma, helping improve the relationship between the stoma and pouch opening.

Coloplast also recommends this profile for dipped areas where a light curve is required to obtain good contact.

This can be useful where a completely flat appliance does not make reliable contact with the peristomal area.

Potential situations include:

• A stoma approximately level with the skin

• A shallow dip around the stoma

• Mild inward contours

• Areas where a flat appliance tends to lift or leave gaps

• Recurrent leakage associated with inadequate appliance contact

The degree of convexity should always be appropriate for the individual's stoma and body profile.

One-piece appliance

SenSura® Soft Seal is a one-piece system.

The pouch and convex adhesive baseplate are permanently joined.

There is:

• No separate baseplate

• No mechanical coupling

• No separate pouch attachment

When the pouch requires changing, the entire appliance is removed and replaced.

This provides a relatively straightforward, low-profile system.

Closed colostomy pouch

This product is a closed pouch.

It does not have a drainage outlet.

When the pouch contains sufficient output to require changing, the complete appliance is removed and replaced.

Closed pouches are generally most appropriate where output is:

• Formed

• Semi-formed

• Relatively predictable

• Produced at manageable intervals

They are therefore primarily intended for colostomy.

For frequent liquid or semi-liquid output, an open/drainable pouch will usually be more practical.

Dual-layer adhesive

SenSura® Soft Seal incorporates an adhesive system with two complementary functions.

Protection layer

The protection layer is designed to:

• Protect the skin from stoma output

• Maintain secure contact around the stoma

• Help reduce the risk of output reaching exposed peristomal skin

Skin-care layer

The skin-care layer is designed to:

• Absorb excess moisture

• Help maintain an appropriate skin environment

• Support healthy peristomal skin

A secure fit around the stoma is particularly important because prolonged contact between stoma output and exposed skin can result in irritation.

Integrated dual filter

The pouch incorporates an integrated filtering system.

Gas produced by the bowel can accumulate inside a closed colostomy pouch and cause it to inflate or balloon.

The filter is designed to:

• Allow intestinal gas to leave the pouch

• Help reduce ballooning

• Neutralise odour

• Help maintain a flatter pouch profile

• Improve discretion

The NHS dm+d specifically identifies the current SenSura® Soft Seal products in this listing as colostomy bags with dual filter.

Soft backing fabric

Covered variants incorporate a soft backing fabric.

Coloplast describes the backing as:

• Soft against the body

• Strong

• Water-repellent

• Showerproof

The covering helps improve comfort and discretion during everyday wear.

Transparent options

References 15305 and 15306 are Transparent Maxi pouches.

Transparent construction allows direct visibility of:

• The stoma

• Stoma output

• Pouch contents

• Appliance positioning

This may be useful:

• Following surgery

• During stoma assessment

• Where output needs monitoring

• Where a carer assists with stoma management

• Where direct visibility is preferred

Midi or Maxi?

Midi

The Midi pouch provides a more compact profile.

Options currently available on this listing include:

• 15041 – 15–43mm

• 15042 – pre-cut 25mm

• 15043 – pre-cut 31mm

• 15303 – 15–33mm

• 15304 – 15–43mm

• 15313 – pre-cut 25mm

• 15314 – pre-cut 28mm

Maxi

Maxi provides greater collection capacity.

Options currently available include:

• 15051 – 15–43mm

• 15307 – 15–33mm Soft Cover

• 15308 – 15–43mm Soft Cover

• 15305 – 15–33mm Transparent

• 15306 – 15–43mm Transparent

The appropriate capacity depends on:

• Stoma output

• Frequency of pouch changes

• Body size

• Lifestyle

• Clothing

• Personal preference

Cut-to-fit options

Current cut-to-fit ranges available on this listing are:

• 15–33mm

• 15–43mm

A cut-to-fit appliance allows the opening to be prepared according to the measured size and shape of the stoma.

This may be useful where:

• Stoma diameter does not match a standard pre-cut opening

• The stoma is irregularly shaped

• Stoma size is changing

• A customised opening is preferred

Always remain within the manufacturer's stated cutting range.

Pre-cut options

This listing includes pre-cut openings of:

• 25mm

• 28mm

• 31mm

Pre-cut appliances may be convenient where the stoma has reached a stable size and closely matches one of the available openings.

Choosing the correct opening

Measure the stoma carefully 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 stoma shape where required

An opening that is too large may expose surrounding skin to stoma output and increase the risk of leakage and irritation.

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

Opening size and convexity are separate considerations

Selecting the correct opening diameter does not automatically mean that Soft Seal convexity is appropriate.

The appliance profile should also be selected according to:

• Stoma protrusion

• Whether the stoma sits above, level with or below the surrounding skin

• Depth of dips around the stoma

• Abdominal folds

• Skin condition

• Previous leakage

• Pressure tolerance

Persistent leakage despite an appropriately sized opening may indicate that the appliance profile requires reassessment.

Applying the appliance:

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.

Gently remove the existing pouch 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 around the stoma.

Apply the convex adhesive to the skin.

Press gently but firmly around the stoma.

Smooth the adhesive outward to establish secure skin contact.

Check for:

• Gaps

• Folds

• Creases

• Areas where the adhesive has not contacted the skin properly

Apply gentle hand pressure to help establish the seal.

Changing the pouch:

Because this is a one-piece closed appliance, the entire pouch and adhesive baseplate are removed together.

Change the appliance before the pouch becomes excessively full or heavy.

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 skin before applying a replacement pouch.
