Hollister Moderma Flex One-Piece Closed Flat Colostomy Pouch – Midi, 15–55mm – Box of 30 (Ref: 2214055)

Hollister Moderma Flex 2214055 is a one-piece closed colostomy pouch with a flat SoftFlex skin barrier, designed for people with a colostomy and relatively formed, predictable stoma output.

This Midi Beige pouch has a 15–55mm cut-to-fit opening, allowing the barrier to be individually prepared to fit the size and shape of the stoma. The pouch incorporates Hollister's SoftFlex skin barrier, designed to be gentle on the skin and suitable for the more frequent appliance changes associated with closed colostomy pouches.

An integrated AF300 filter helps manage intestinal gas and odour, while the Viewing Option allows the stoma and pouch position to be checked when required without sacrificing the discretion of a covered Beige pouch.

One-piece closed pouch

Moderma Flex 2214055 is a one-piece appliance.

The pouch and SoftFlex adhesive skin barrier are permanently connected, so there is:

• No separate baseplate

• No mechanical coupling

• No separate pouch attachment

When the pouch requires changing, the complete pouch and adhesive barrier are removed together and replaced with a new appliance.

This provides a straightforward, relatively low-profile system.

Designed for colostomy

A closed pouch is generally most appropriate for a colostomy where output is:

• Formed

• Semi-formed

• Less frequent

• Relatively predictable

Unlike a drainable ileostomy pouch, Ref 2214055 has no drainage outlet.

Once the pouch contains enough output to require changing, the entire appliance is removed and replaced.

For very frequent liquid output, a drainable pouch may generally be more practical.

Midi pouch size

Reference 2214055 is the Midi version of the Moderma Flex closed pouch.

Midi provides a more compact pouch profile than the corresponding Maxi option and may be preferred where:

• Output volume is moderate

• Greater discretion is desired

• A smaller pouch is comfortable for the user

• More frequent pouch changes are expected

The corresponding larger Maxi cut-to-fit version is Hollister Ref 2234055.

SoftFlex skin barrier

The pouch incorporates Hollister's SoftFlex skin barrier.

SoftFlex is a standard-wear, flexible skin barrier designed to provide secure adhesion while remaining gentle to the peristomal skin.

This is particularly useful with a closed pouch because the entire adhesive barrier is removed whenever the pouch is changed.

The SoftFlex barrier is designed to:

• Adhere securely around the stoma

• Remain flexible with body movement

• Provide a comfortable interface with the skin

• Allow relatively frequent pouch removal

• Help protect peristomal skin from contact with stoma output

Correct opening size remains important to minimise exposure of the surrounding skin.

Flat skin barrier

Reference 2214055 has a flat barrier.

It does not incorporate convexity.

A flat pouch may be appropriate where:

• The stoma protrudes adequately above skin level

• The surrounding abdominal surface provides a suitable sealing area

• Significant inward dips or folds are absent

• Convex pressure is not required

A flat appliance may not be appropriate for every stoma.

Flush or retracted stomas, deep creases or recurrent leakage may require assessment for a different appliance profile.

15–55mm cut-to-fit opening

Reference 2214055 has a 15–55mm cut-to-fit barrier.

The opening can be enlarged to fit the individual stoma within the manufacturer's stated range.

Cut-to-fit appliances can be particularly useful where:

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

• The stoma is irregularly shaped

• Stoma dimensions are changing

• A customised opening is preferred

Do not cut beyond the manufacturer's stated 55mm maximum.

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 the stoma

• Avoid constricting it

• Minimise exposed peristomal skin

• Follow the shape of the stoma where required

An opening that is too large can expose the surrounding skin to stoma output and increase the risk of:

• Redness

• Soreness

• Irritation

• Leakage

• Reduced adhesive performance

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

AF300 filter

Moderma Flex 2214055 incorporates Hollister's AF300 filter.

The filter is designed to allow intestinal gas to leave the pouch gradually while its carbon component helps control odour.

This helps:

• Reduce pouch ballooning

• Manage intestinal gas

• Reduce unwanted odour

• Maintain a flatter pouch profile

• Improve discretion beneath clothing

Do not puncture or otherwise modify the filter.

Viewing Option

Reference 2214055 incorporates Hollister's Viewing Option.

The Beige pouch provides discretion during normal wear, while the viewing feature allows the user to check the stoma and pouch position when required.

This can be useful:

• During application

• When checking that the opening is correctly positioned

• When inspecting the stoma

• When monitoring output

• Where a carer assists with pouch management

The pouch therefore provides the discretion of an opaque appliance while retaining the ability to inspect the stoma when necessary.

ComfortWear pouch panels

The pouch incorporates soft ComfortWear panels.

On this Beige version, the ComfortWear covering is present on both sides of the pouch.

The soft panels are designed to:

• Improve comfort against the body

• Provide a softer feel than exposed pouch film

• Improve discretion

• Reduce direct contact between pouch film and skin

Odour-barrier pouch film

Moderma Flex uses odour-barrier pouch film to help contain stoma output and minimise transmission of odour through the pouch material.

The AF300 filter then provides controlled management of gas leaving the pouch.

Together these features help provide discreet everyday management of colostomy output.

Applying the pouch:

Wash and dry your hands.

Measure the stoma if necessary.

Mark the required opening on the SoftFlex barrier.

Cut the opening carefully according to the measured size and shape of the stoma.

Do not enlarge the opening beyond 55mm.

Gently remove the existing appliance while supporting the surrounding skin.

Clean the peristomal area according to the user's normal stoma-care routine.

Ensure the skin is clean and appropriately dry.

Remove the protective backing from the SoftFlex barrier.

Use the Viewing Option where helpful to position the opening accurately.

Centre the opening around the stoma.

Press the barrier gently but firmly against the skin.

Smooth outward to establish secure contact.

Check for:

• Gaps

• Folds

• Creases

• Areas where the adhesive has not made complete contact

Apply gentle hand pressure to help establish the seal.

Always follow Hollister's instructions supplied with the product.

Changing the pouch:

Because this is a closed one-piece pouch, it is normally removed when it contains sufficient stool to require changing rather than being emptied through an outlet.

To remove:

• Wash and dry your hands

• Gently lift an edge of the SoftFlex barrier

• Support the surrounding skin

• Slowly peel the adhesive away from the skin

• Avoid pulling the pouch rapidly from the skin

• Dispose of the used pouch appropriately

• Clean and inspect the peristomal skin

• Apply a new pouch

The frequency of changes varies according to individual output and personal stoma-care routine.
